Leaders of the ruling coalition alliance said on Thursday that no one could be given the right to stop the Parliament from enacting laws.

Addressing a press conference, the leaders of the ruling parties said that the bill had not been made yet and an 8-member bench had been constituted. Speaking on the occasion, Minister for Law Azam Nazir Tarar said that all the parties had demanded formation of a full court. He added that the petition was filed in haste and a bench was formed.

He said that this was the interference of institutions in the legislative authority of the Parliament. Tarar asked the reason that why the judges of Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had not been included in the bench.

The federal minister said that no compromise would be made on the right of the people. He said no one could be given the authority to stop the Parliament from enacting laws. Tarar said all the seniority norms were ignored while forming a ‘selective’ bench and an eight-member bench was formed through pick and choose.

He said that the impression of division in the judiciary had come to the fore and it was expected that the bench would be dissolved today (Thursday). Tarar said, “If a law is made, the court can review it, the timing of filing a case on the judicial reform bill is not appropriate and the case cannot be conducted.

People’s Party leader Qamar Zaman Kaira, speaking on the occasion, said that the bill was still with the Parliament and the Supreme Court had taken it up. Kaira said, “Do you want to stop the Parliament from exercising its authority? All the parties have struggled hard to make the Parliament authoritative.”

He said that the attempt was being made to snatch authority of the Parliament by forming such bench which was unacceptable. “We are again telling that the method of forming the bench is not right,” he mintained.

The People’s Party leader said that brazenness, stubbornness and arrogance were being exhibited. What impression would the people be getting after seeing the bench list. “If it continues like this, we will not accept it,” he concluded.

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has issued directives to implement concrete measures for the digitalization of land records across the province.

Presided over a crucial session focused on Board of Revenue reforms, CM Nawaz received a comprehensive briefing on the Punjab Urban Land Systems Enhancement (PULSE) project.

During the session, officials from the Punjab Land Record Authority and Management of State Land provided insights into the project’s business plan and execution strategies.

The digitalization of land records under the PULSE project is being undertaken with the support of the World Bank.

This ambitious initiative aims to digitize all land records in Punjab on an owner-based system, marking a significant step towards transparency and efficiency in revenue management.

Key highlights from the briefing include the categorization of land properties into clear, and disputed categories, denoted by green, yellow, and red respectively.

Each buyer will be assigned a unique property number, streamlining legal processes and reducing complications associated with property transactions.

The implementation of a transparent partition of land and parcel document system will enhance the transparency and fairness of revenue management.

The digitalization process will also simplify the Record of Rights (Fard) and property transfer system, ensuring accessibility and efficiency for citizens.

In a move to facilitate overseas Pakistanis, the government plans to introduce services such as overseas property transfer, mutation, registration, and e-survey.

CM Maryam Nawaz has underscored the importance of swift action and collaboration among relevant departments to expedite the digitalization of land records.

Provincial Information Minister Azma Bukhari, MPA Sania Ashiq, chief secretary, P&D chairman, SMU head and other officials attended the session.
