Supreme Court Justice Mansoor Ali Shah emphasized the crucial importance of implementing the court’s verdicts, warning that failing to do so could destabilize the balance of Pakistan’s Constitution. Speaking at an event in Islamabad, he cautioned that disregarding Supreme Court rulings would disrupt the entire legal system.
Justice Shah underlined that the separation of powers is a fundamental component of democracy, which must not be disturbed. He made it clear that implementing SC orders is not merely a formality but a constitutional obligation that ensures the equilibrium of governance.
He further stated that only the Supreme Court has the authority to decide on legal matters, and once a judgment is made, it must be executed without question. Any failure to comply with the SC’s rulings would constitute a violation of the Constitution and threaten the balance of power in the country.
Justice Shah’s remarks came in the context of recent political developments, where the ruling coalition sought to bypass a Supreme Court decision by passing new legislation. He reaffirmed that the Constitution is the supreme law, and its provisions, including SC judgments, must be upheld to maintain the integrity of Pakistan’s legal and democratic framework.
