This House resolves as under:

 

1.That the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan is the supreme document and it is the duty of every institution to uphold the Constitution.

 

2.That under Article 176 of the Constitution, the Supreme Court is the Chief Justice of Pakistan and the judges of the Supreme Court of Pakistan and the power under Article 184 of the Constitution vests with the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan and not any particular Judge.

 

 

3.That recently a controversy has arisen due to a decision regarding the holding of elections in Punjab and KPK wherein four Honourable Judges have dismissed the Suo Moto while three Honourable Judges have issued directions to the Election Commission of Pakistan.

 

4.That it is a settled principle of law that decisions are taken by majority and minority decisions cannot prevail over the view of the majority. It is in the interest of the sanctity that is afforded to the judiciary in our Constitution that the view of the majority should prevail.

 

5.That it is only the Parliament which can amend the Constitution and the Honourable Judges through interpretation cannot insert words into the Constitution or rewrite the same.

 

6.That the spirit of the 18th Constitutional amendment for the purposes of free and fair elections was to empower the Election Commission of Pakistan and have caretaker governments at the time of general elections. Therefore, to ensure free and fair elections, it is imperative that elections for the National and Provincial Assemblies take place at the same time.

 

In view of the above, this House resolves that elections to the National and Provincial Assemblies take place at the same time, in the presence of caretaker Governments all over the Country, by the Election Commission of Pakistan.
