Senate offers fateha for Türkiye, Syria earthquake victims

The Senate unanimously passed a resolution drawing the attention of government towards Article 227 of the Constitution therein stipulating that all existing laws shall be brought in conformity with the Injunctions of Islam as laid down in the Holy Quran and Sunnah and no law shall be enacted which is repugnant to such Injunctions.

The resolution further drew the attention of the government towards Articles 203C and 203F of the Constitution of Pakistan therein providing for the Federal Shariat Court and Shariat Appellate Bench in the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The House showed deep concerns over the vacant positions of Judges including Ulema Judges in the Federal Shariat Court and infrequent meetings of the Shariat Appellate Bench in the Supreme Court of Pakistan causing heavy pendency of important cases.

The resolution was moved by Senator Mushtaq Ahmed.
