<Center><h3>By M. Ziauddin</h3></center>
<Center><h4>Dawn, October 10, 1998</h4></center>
ISLAMABAD, Oct. 9: The CA-15 bill which was passed here on Friday by the National Assembly still has two more stages to cover before it becomes part of the Constitution.
<br><br>
The next stage is its passage through the Senate with a two-thirds majority and in the final stage it will go to the president for his assent.
<br><br>
The Constitution is silent on what would happen to a constitutional bill passed by one house but which does not get a two-thirds majority in the other.
<br><br>
However, since no constitutional bill can go to the president for his assent until it has been passed by a two-thirds majority of the two houses separately, it is assumed by constitutional experts that the bill so rejected by one of the two houses becomes dead automatically
<br><br>
According to these experts, the CA-15 will be considered dead if it fails to get the two-thirds majority in the upper house. The fear that it would not get this backing in the Senate has been expressed by some political observers because at present the government has only 43 votes against the required 58 in the upper house of 87.
<br><br>
However, if that happens, then it would be the first case in the constitutional history of Pakistan, for all the 14 amendments which have been passed so far since the present Constitution was framed in 1973, were successfully piloted by the respective governments through both the houses without much difficulty.
<br><br>
The Constitution is silent on how long one house can take to consider a constitutional bill passed by the other.
<br><br>
In the case of ordinary bills, if a bill passed by one house is not considered by the other within 90 days, it goes to the joint sitting of parliament where only a simple majority is required for it to become law.
<br><br>
Under clause (1) of article 239 of the Constitution, a bill to amend the Constitution may originate in either house and, when the bill has been passed by not less than two-thirds of the total membership of the house, it shall be transmitted to the other house.
<br><br>
According to clause (2) of the same article, if a bill is passed without amendment by the votes of not less than two-thirds of the total membership of the house to which it is transmitted under clause (1), it shall be presented to the president for assent.
<br><br>
And, under clause (3) of the article, if the bill is passed with amendment by the votes of not less than two-thirds of the total membership of the house to which it is transmitted under clause (1), it shall be reconsidered by the house in which it had originated, and if the bill as amended by the former House is passed by the latter by not less than two-thirds of its total membership it shall be presented to the president for assent.

CONSTITUTION (FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT) BILL, 1998</h2>
<hr width="100%">A Bill further to amend the Constitution of the Islamic
Republic of Pakistan:
<p>WHEREAS sovereignty over the entire universe belongs to Almighty Allah
alone and the authority which He has delegated to the State of Pakistan
through its people for being exercised through their chosen representatives
within the limits prescribed by Him is a sacred trust;</p>
<p>AND WHEREAS the Objectives Resolution has been made a substantive part
of the Constitution;</p>
<p>AND WHEREAS Islam is the State religion of Pakistan and it is the obligation
of the State to enable the Muslims of Pakistan, individually and collectively,
to order their lives in accordance with the fundamental principles and
basic concepts of Islam as set out in the Holy Quran and Sunnah;</p>
<p>AND WHEREAS Islam enjoins the establishment of a social order based
on Islamic values, of prescribing what is right and forbidding what is
wrong (<EM>amr bil ma'roof wa nahi anil munkar</EM>);</p>
<p>AND WHEREAS in order to achieve the aforesaid objective and goal, it
is expedient further to amend the Constitution of the Islamic Republic
of Pakistan;</p>

<p>
<dt><strong>2.</strong></dt>
<dd>
<strong>Addition of new Article 2B in the Constitution</strong>
<br> In the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, hereinafter referred to as the said Constitution, after Article 2A, the following new Article shall be inserted,
namely:-
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><strong>"2B.</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>Supremacy of the Quran and Sunnah</strong>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>(1)</dt>
<dd>The Holy Quran and Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) shall be the supreme law of Pakistan. </dd>

<dd> The Federal Government shall be under an obligation to take steps
to enforce the Shariah, to establish salat, to administer zakat, to promote
<em>amr bil ma'roof</em> and <em>nahi anil munkar</em> (to prescribe what is right and to
forbid what is wrong), to eradicate corruption at all levels and to provide
substantial socio-economic justice, in accordance with the principles of
Islam, as laid down in the Holy Quran and Sunnah. </dd>
<dt>(3)</dt>
<dd> The Federal Government may issue directives for the implementation
of the provisions set out in clauses (1) and (2) and may take the necessary
action against any state functionary for non-compliance of the said directives. </dd>
<dt>(4)</dt>
<dd> Nothing contained in this Article shall affect the personal law,
religious freedom, traditions or customs of non-Muslims and their status
as citizens. </dd>
<dt>(5)</dt>
<dd> The provisions of this Article shall have effect notwithstanding
anything contained in the Constitution, any law or judgement of any Court". </dd>
</dl>
</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<p>
<dt><strong>3.</strong></dt>
<dd>
<strong>Amendment of Article 239 of the Constitution:-</strong>
<br>
In the Constitution, in Article 239, after clause (3) the following new clauses shall be inserted, namely:-
<br>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>"(3A)</dt>
<dd> Notwithstanding anything contained in clauses (1) to (3), a Bill
to amend the Constitution providing for the removal of any impediment in
the enforcement of any matter relating to Shariah and the implementation
of the Injunctions of Islam may originate in either House and shall, if
it is passed by a majority of the members voting in the House in which
it originated, be transmitted to the other House; and if the Bill is passed
without amendment by the majority of the members voting in the other House
also, it shall be presented to the President for assent. </dd>
<dt>(3B)</dt>
<dd> If a Bill transmitted to a House under clause (3A) is rejected
or is not passed within ninety days of its receipt or is passed with amendment
it shall be considered in a joint sitting. </dd>
<dt>(3C)</dt>
<dd> If the Bill is passed by a majority of the members voting in the
joint sitting, with or without amendment, it shall be presented to the
President for assent. </dd>
<dt>(3D)</dt>
<dd> The President shall assent to the Bill presented to him under
clause (3A) or clause (3C) within seven days of the presentation of the
Bill". </dd>
</dl>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>
<b><i>STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS</i></b>
<p>In view of the fact that the Objectives Resolution is now substantive
part of the Constitution, it is necessary that Quran and Sunnah are declared
to be the supreme law of Pakistan, and the Government is empowered to take
necessary steps to enforce Shariah. Under Article 239 a Bill to amend the
Constitution is passed by the two-third majority of each House but separately.
To facilitate the enforcement of Shariah, it is considered that it would
be more appropriate that a Bill providing for the removal of any impediment
in the enforcement of any matter relating to Shariah and the implementation
of the Injunctions of Islam may be passed by the Parliament in the same
manner as a law is passed.</p>
<p>2. The Bill seeks to amend the Constitution for the above purposes.</p>Mohsin Pervaizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16978459093733036051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927615657125758767.post-8497680927373325182016-02-09T02:10:00.003-08:002016-02-09T02:10:44.865-08:00The Fifteenth Amendment Bill

<hr>
<p>
On November 3, 2007, General Pervez Musharraf, President of Pakistan and Chief of Army Staff, issued a Proclamation of Emergency, which held the Constitution in "abeyance". The Proclamation of Emergency was rescinded on December 15, 2007.
</p>
<p>These actions were validated by the Supreme Court consisting of judges who took oath under the Judges (Oath of Office) Order, 007.
</p>
<p>Subsequently, the Supreme Court declared the action of November 3rd, 2007 and constitutional amendments made during that period as null and void. The amendments made to the Constitution thus were never incorporated into the text presented on this site.</p>
<p>
This is a listing of orders and proclamations on constitutional issues made during that period.

<p>Amendments were made to the Constitution by the Legal Framework Order, 2002 (issues on August 21, 2002) prior to the holding of elections and the restoration of the Constitution. (<em>The validity of this LFO was a source of major debate. On December 31, 2003, the Seventeenth Amendment gave implicit parliamentary approval to the LFO.</em>)</p>
<p>The Constitution was restored in phases on November 15, 2002, November 24, 2002, December 31, 2002 and March 12, 2003. </p>
<p>Elections to the Provincial Assemblies and National
Assembly were held on October 10, 2002, and elections to the Senate
were held on February 24, 2003.</p>

<h3>STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS</h3>
<p>An extraordinary situation and circumstances exist which demand
special measures for speedy trial of offences relating to terrorism, waging of war or
insurrection against Pakistan and prevention of acts threatening the security of
Pakistan. There exists grave and unprecedented threat to the territorial integrity of
Pakistan by miscreants, terrorists and foreign funded elements. Since there is an
extraordinary situation as stated above it is expedient that an appropriate
amendment is made in the Constitution.
</p>
<p>The Bill is designed to achieve the aforesaid objects.</p>Mohsin Pervaizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16978459093733036051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927615657125758767.post-3060593625045799572016-02-09T01:54:00.000-08:002016-02-09T01:54:26.778-08:00Twentieth Amendment (2012)<h2 align="center">Constitution (Twentieth Amendment) Act, 2012</h2>
