Clear that deputy speaker’s ruling is erroneous: CJP Bandial

Islamabad-Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial on Thursday said that it was clear that the April 3 ruling of National Assembly Deputy Speaker Qasim Khan Suri, dismissed the no-confidence stir against Prime Minister Imran Khan, was incorrect.

“The real question at hand is what happens coming,” he said, adding that now the PML-N counsel and the Attorney General of Pakistan (AGP) Khalid Jawed Khan would guide the court on how to do.
“We’ve to look at public interest,” he said, adding that the court would issue a verdict moment.
He made the reflections as a five-member bench, headed by CJP Bandial and comprising Justice Ijazul Ahsan, Justice Mazhar Alam Miankhel, Justice Munib Akhtar and Justice Mandokhel proceeded to hear the suo motu case concerning the legitimacy of the deputy speaker’s ruling and the posterior dissolution of the NA by the chairman on the PM’s advice.
In expectation of the verdict, security has been beefed up at the SC demesne. TV footage showed hoot police stationed outside the apex court.
