Shahbaz Sharif's Constitutional Crisis!
Posted by anas on Jun 25, 2008 in Politics | 3 commentsWhile the LHC has ruled in favor of Shahbaz Sharif, despite ruling against his elder brother, the challenges for the CM Punjab are far from over. He’s now caught in constitutional intricacies which will require more judgements from the higher courts. Shahbaz Sharif was elected unopposed from PP-48, after which he took the office of Chief Minister Punjab. Interestingly, he forgot to withdraw his candidature from other seats from which he was contesting. One of those seats is PP-10 from which he is declared the winner, unopposed, again.
According to the Constitution article 223:
“Subject to Clause 2 if a member of either house or of a provincial assembly becomes a candidate for a second seat which in accordance with clause 1 he may not hold concurrently with his first seat, then his first seat shall become vacant as soon as he is elected to the second seat”
If he does relinquish his seat, he gives up the seat of CM and needs to take another oath. BUT (the best part!) … According to Chief Executive Order 19 of 2002, nobody can hold the CM office for the third time unless the law is amended
Good Luck CM
This further shows the gross negligence of the so-called lawyers of PML-N. Jaahil is the key word.

Idiot was too busy in the impeachment of Musharraf!
Its getting really funny now. How can SO many people in party overlook the Constitution? Doesn’t it show how “closely” they read the Constitution for which they claim they’re fighting for?
The other part of this comic is that PML-N has vowed to stay away from PCO-judges and their courts. Does that mean he’ll not defend his case? Or will the “doctrine of necessity to keep the chair” prevail here for PML-N?
Oh no, their fight is for democracy, about which they don’t know SHIT!
