Pakistan SC refers to Indian SC verdicts to disqualify Gilani

[rashtriya.rifles]

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan's Supreme Court referred to two judicial verdicts by the Indian apex court in its ruling disqualifying Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani following his conviction of contempt.

The four-page short order issued yesterday by a three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry referred to a total of eight judicial verdicts, including six by Pakistani courts and two by the Indian judiciary.

The references, included in the second paragraph of the order, mentioned the cases of "Jagjit Singh vs State of Haryana (AIR 2007 SC 590)" and "Rajendra Singh Rana vs Swami Prasad Maurya (AIR 2007 SC 1305)" without giving details.

The order said these eight judicial verdicts showed that the Supreme Court, while exercising the power of judicial review, could examine rulings given by the Speaker of the National Assembly or lower house of parliament.

The apex court yesterday disqualified Gilani in response to several petitions that had challenged National Assembly Speaker Fehmida Mirza's decision not to disqualify the premier following his conviction of contempt.

The court ruled that the post of premier had been vacant since April 26, when another seven-judge bench had convicted Gilani of contempt for refusing to reopen graft cases in Switzerland against President Asif Ali Zardari.

I am a total nut case when it comes to courts and law.

What simply does that means? How can pakistani court use some thing thats declared by the court of another nation? Is it citing an example?
Alsn since Gilani is disqualified as PM, will there be an election or simply will the ruling party pick up a new guy?

I dont see how these two judgements can be applied in gilani's case.

That's well and fine. They have a nascent democracy. It is impossible to draw from past experience.

Meanwhile, the Indian judiciary is rock solid. Although, rather frustrating.

No, judges can show judgements in other countries, Indian courts refer to other judgements too.
The question should be, whether it is similar case.

nothing like that man. If you follow similar judicial practice, you cite other cases as reference. Indian courts do that as well.
