ISLAMABAD: The Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJ), Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, on Friday observed that pardoning killers in the name of Allah in murder cases had become a continuous custom that ran contrary to the teachings of the holy Quran.
Justice Chaudhrys remarks came days after the family of Shahzeb Khan, who was murdered in cold blood by a business tycoons son and his three accomplices, approached the Sindh High Court (SHC) seeking acquittal of convicts after pardoning them in the name of Allah.
As to why the court shouldnt issue a notice on the matter of going for reconciliation by shutting eyes. This should not be made a routine matter at the Supreme Court (SC) level. Pardoning in the name of Almighty Allah in a murder is Fasad Fil Arz and judges are also responsible for it. It is the job of the court to prevent this, remarked Justice Chaudhry while heading a three-member bench that took notice of pardoning in the name of Allah in murder cases.
We took suo moto notice of a murder case in Faisalabad. The rival party kidnapped the child. The family reconciled to the matter under compulsion. Wrong deeds are being committed in the name of Islam and Quranic injunctions are being interpreted wrongly. Allahs chastisement can come down upon it, said the chief justice.
Justice Jawwad S. Khawaja remarked: The sentence cannot be revoked on the reconciliation struck in defiance of Quranic teachings. The mode and scope of reconciliation should be determined. Pardoning in the name of Almighty be not made a custom.
The court said in its decision that transfer of land from joint account or to non-adult children was not enough to go for reconciliation. Children can deviate from these matters after they become adult. The court stressed correct implementation of Quranic teachings and injunctions in this connection.
Senior lawyer Shahid Hamid also appeared in the court and presented a joint reply. He said adopting the Islamic teachings was mandatory.The court asked Shahid Hamid to give formulation and stated we are issuing notices to prosecutor generals of all the four provinces. We will hear them as well. The references to the decisions given by the court so far be also given. We will fix this case for hearing on September, 23 for formulation only and its detailed hearing will be done on some other day. The court issued notices to the Federation and the four provinces for legal and constitutional interpretation and sought a reply.
