He was of the view that lawmakers\u2019 membership ends in case of the dissolution of the assembly, adding that the purpose of Article 63-A will be fulfilled with lifetime disqualification and the law would not serve its purpose by de-seating lawmakers till the completion of the assembly\u2019s tenure. He further argued that in case of a declaration, Article 62(1)(f) will be applied to the dissenting lawmaker. Responding to a query of a member of the bench Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail whether disagreement meant dissent as per the AGP, to which the AGP submitted it is not fact. To which, Justice Mandokhail observed Article 63-A referred to de-seating, not disqualification saying there was no need for further discussion when there was no mention of disqualification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presidential Reference ISLAMABAD While concluding arguments in presidential reference before a five-member larger bench of the Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial on Tuesday Attorney General for Pakistan (AGP) Khalid Jawed Khan reiterated parliamentarians who vote against their party\u2019 policy should be disqualified for life.
