Breaking News ISLAMABAD: The Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry said during the hearing of 18th Amendment case that laws which clash with the constitution carry no value at all.
A large 17 member bench headed by the Chief Justice continued the hearing of the 18th Amendment case today.
During the hearing, the CJ said that no Pandora's box shall be opened in front of the court as the principles of the Objectives Resolution are also provided separately in the constitution.
The counsel for civil society, Salman Akram Raja, said in his argument that he is not trying to undermine the value of the Objectives Resolution, but according to his understanding it can not be made as a standard for the court’s decision.
Member of the bench, Justice Jawed Iqbal, said that the court reserves the right to review any law under the constitution.
Another member of the bench, Justice Ramday, said that wherever judges try to raise their heads, they are immediately showered with hammers.
