Courts Declare Ban on Hizb ut-Tahrir Defective, Distribution of Pamphlets Legal and Political work for Khilafah Constitutional
The Honourable Judge of the Anti Terrorism Court III at Karachi Mr. Arshad Noor Khan declared the notification dated 20.11.03 banning Hizb ut-Tahrir defective, He observed, In the present case the notification Ex. 17 is completely silent regarding any reason basing on which Hizbul Tahrir organization has been declared as proscribed organization. The first line of the notification Ex. 17 is the reproduction of the wording of Section 11-B(1)(a) ibid. and thereafter it is silent with regard to any reason as such notification Ex. 17 in my humble opinion
is defective for want of reasons in writing,[emphasis added]
The Honourable Judge of Lahore High Court Multan Bench declared that distribution of pamphlets cannot be termed terrorism, He observed, The perusal of those pamphlets shows that defunct Hizb-ut-Tahrir has shown dissatisfaction on the policies of the government which is the right of each and every citizens
I am unable to understand as to how distribution of these pamphlets in the general public was termed as terrorism or sectarianism,
It is also pertinent to mention that the Honourable court of Mr. Justice Karamat Nazir Bhandari, Judge Lahore High Court Lahore, stated in a writ petition No. 524/2002 that peacefully
working for the prorogation of Khilafah is not contrary to the law, so the Honourable court directed the respondents not to harass the petitioner (present petitioner was also the petitioner in that case), He observed,
in so far as the other activities of the petitioner are concerned like speech and propagating system of Khilafat, it is laid down in the Constitution that no citizen shall be prohibited from doing that which the law does not prohibit him
On 20 January 2010, Judge of Anti Terrorism court no 1, Lahore declare in his order in a case involving HT members; I have carefully pursued pamphlets showing dissatisfaction upon national foreign policy of president Zardari in collusion with American government. Distribution of such pamphlets in public can not be termed as terrorism or secularism. Needless to mention here, that our constitution safeguards fundamental rights of freedom of expressions etc., so these freedoms can not constitute any offence. This court is of this considered view that
no terrorism is constituted from the gist of alleged pamphlets.
