O R D E R

IFTIKHAR MUHAMMAD CHAUDHRY, CJ. –

The

Objectives Resolution, which has been made substantive part of the

Constitution by means of Article 2A of the Constitution of Islamic

Republic of Pakistan commands that:

CONST P 77-2011/2010, etc.

3

“And whereas it is the will of the people of Pakistan to

establish an order;

Wherein integrity of the territories of the Federation, its

independence and all its rights, including its sovereign

rights on land, sea and air, shall be safeguarded;

So that people of Pakistan may prosper and attain their

rightful and honoured place amongst the nations of the

World and make their full contribution towards

international peace and progress and happiness of

humanity.”

2. This short order shall be followed by detailed reasons, to

be recorded later. The above petitions have been instituted under

Article 184(3) of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

3. For the purpose of understanding the issues involved in

these petitions precisely the facts noted from the pleadings of the

parties are that on 10

th October, 2011, the respondent Mansoor Ijaz

wrote an Article in Financial Times, London. The contents of the said

Memo have already been reproduced in the order dated 1

st December,

2011, however, same are repeated herein below:-

“CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM

BRIEFING FOR ADM

. MIKE MULLEN, CHAIRMAN, JOINT

CHIEFS OF STAFF

During the past 72 hours since a meeting was held between the

president, the prime minister and the chief of army staff, there

has seen a significant deterioration in Pakistan’s political

atmosphere. Increasingly desperate efforts by the various

agencies and factions within the government to find a home –

ISI and/or Army, or the civilian government – for assigning

blame over the UBL raid now dominate the tug of war between

military and civilian sectors. Subsequent tit-for-tat reactions,

including outing of the CIA station chief’s name in Islamabad by

ISI officials, demonstrates a dangerous devolution of the ground

situation in Islamabad where no central control appears to be in

place.

Civilians cannot withstand much more of the hard pressure

being delivered from the Army to succumb to wholesale

changes. If civilians are forced from power, Pakistan becomes a

sanctuary for UBL’s legacy and potentially the platform for far

CONST P 77-2011/2010, etc.

4

more rapid spread of al Qaeda’s brand of fanaticism and terror.

A unique window of opportunity exists for the civilians to gain

the upper hand over army and intelligence directorates due to

their complicity in the UBL matter.

Request your direct intervention in conveying a strong, urgent

and direct message to Gen Kayani that delivers Washington’s

demand for him and Gen Pasha to end their brinkmanship aimed

at bringing down the civilian apparatus – that this is a 1971

moment in Pakistan’s history. Should you be willing to do so,

Washington’s political/military backing would result in a revamp

of the civilian government that, while weak at the top echelon in

terms of strategic direction and implementation (even though

mandated by domestic political forces), in a wholesale manner

replaces the national security adviser and other national security

officials with trusted advisers that include ex-military and

civilian leaders favorably viewed by Washington, each of whom

have long and historical ties to the US military, political and

intelligence communities. Names will be provided to you in a

face-to-face meeting with the person delivering this message.

In the event Washington’s direct intervention behind the scenes

can be secured through your personal communication with

Kayani (he will likely listen only to you at this moment) to stand

down the Pakistani military-intelligence establishment, the new

national security team is prepared, with full backing of the

civilian apparatus, to do the following:

1. President of Pakistan will order an independent

inquiry into the allegations that Pakistan harbored and

offered assistance to UBL and other senior Qaeda

operatives. The White House can suggest names of

independent investigators to populate the panel, along

the lines of the bipartisan 9-11 Commission, for example.

2. The inquiry will be accountable and independent,

and result in findings of tangible value to the US

government and the American people that identify with

exacting detail those elements responsible for harboring

and aiding UBL inside and close to the inner ring of

influence in Pakistan’s Government (civilian, intelligence

directorates and military). It is certain that the UBL

Commission will result in immediate termination of active

service officers in the appropriate government offices and

agencies found responsible for complicity in assisting

UBL.

3. The new national security team will implement a

policy of either handing over those left in the leadership

of Al Qaeda or other affiliated terrorist groups who are

still on Pakistani soil, including Ayman Al Zawahiri,

Mullah Omar and Sirajuddin Haqqani, or giving US

military forces a “green light” to conduct the necessary

operations to capture or kill them on Pakistani soil. This

“carte blanche” guarantee is not without political risks,

but should demonstrate the new group’s commitment to

rooting out bad elements on our soil. This commitment

has the backing of the top echelon on the civilian side of

our house, and we will insure necessary collateral

support.

4. One of the great fears of the military-intelligence

establishment is that with your stealth capabilities to

enter and exit Pakistani airspace at will, Pakistan’s

nuclear assets are now legitimate targets. The new

national security team is prepared, with full backing of

CONST P 77-2011/2010, etc.

5

the Pakistani government – initially civilian but

eventually all three power centers – to develop an

acceptable framework of discipline for the nuclear

program. This effort was begun under the previous

military regime, with acceptable results. We are prepared

to reactivate those ideas and build on them in a way that

brings Pakistan’s nuclear assets under a more verifiable,

transparent regime.

5. The new national security team will eliminate

Section S of the ISI charged with maintaining relations to

the Taliban, Haqqani network, etc. This will dramatically

improve relations with Afghanistan.

6. We are prepared to cooperate fully under the

new national security team’s guidance with the Indian

government on bringing all perpetrators of Pakistani

origin to account for the 2008 Mumbai attacks, whether

outside government or inside any part of the government,

including its intelligence agencies. This includes handing

over those against whom sufficient evidence exists of

guilt to the Indian security services.

Pakistan faces a decision point of unprecedented importance.

We, who believe in democratic governance and building a much

better structural relationship in the region with India AND

Afghanistan, seek US assistance to help us pigeon-hole the

forces lined up against your interests and ours, including

containment of certain elements inside our country that require

appropriate re-sets and re-tasking in terms of direction and

extent of responsibility after the UBL affair.

We submit this Memorandum for your consideration collectively

as the members of the new national security team who will be

inducted by the President of Pakistan with your support in this

undertaking.”

4. Petitioners invoked original jurisdiction of this Court by means of

Constitution Petitions, questioning therein the contents of above Memo

on stated allegations that question of public importance involving their

fundamental rights under the Constitution has been made out as

according to the version of Mansoor Ijaz-respondent, Memo was

prepared/drafted for the purpose of delivering the same to Chairman

of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen through Gen.

(Retd.) James Logan Jones, former US National Security Advisor.

5. All the petitions were taken up for hearing on 1

st

December, 2011 when after hearing the petitioners, either through

counsel or in person, notices were issued to the respondents for filing

CONST P 77-2011/2010, etc.

6

of their replies and to conduct a probe regarding the Memo, Mr. Tariq

Khosa, former Secretary Narcotics/DG, FIA, subject to his consent,

was directed to act as a Commission. On the same day, by means of

press-conference held in PID office by Dr. Babar Awan, Sr. ASC along

with two Ministers and others, the order of the Court was criticized

contemptuously. Inasmuch as, brother of Mr. Tariq Khosa, namely, Mr.

Justice Asif Saeed Khan Khosa, a learned Judge of this Court, who

although was not member of the Bench, was referred in terms which

prima facie

are contemptuous, therefore, for such reasons, Mr. Tariq

Khosa recused to act as a Commission. In this context, reaction of the

Chief Executive/Prime Minister of Pakistan had been obtained and

appropriate directions shall be passed in the later part of the order.

6. Parties, including the Chief of Army Staff, DG, ISI, Mansoor Ijaz

as well as Hussain Haqqani and the Federation of Pakistan through

Secretary Interior, Foreign Secretary represented by learned Attorney

General for Pakistan, filed their replies. No separate reply has been

filed by the President of Pakistan.

7. With a view to narrow down the controversy between the

parties, directions were issued to them to file counter affidavits/rejoinders

to the replies of each others vide order dated 19.12.2011. A

perusal of the pleadings suggests:-

(i)

After the publication of above Article along with

Memo in Financial Times, London on 10

th of October,

2011, DG, ISI (Mr. Shujah Pasha) established his

contact with Mansoor Ijaz in London and on his

return to Pakistan shared his views with the Chief of

Army Staff, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, thus,

both of them in their replies to the petitions as well

CONST P 77-2011/2010, etc.

7

as affidavits have maintained that Memo dated 10

th

May, 2011 exists.

(ii) On 16

th November, 2011 Mr. Hussain Haqqani

addressed a letter to the President of Pakistan

wherein after mentioning certain facts, he desired to

tender his resignation from the post of Ambassador

of Pakistan in United States and expressed to probe

into the matter.

(iii) About 3 to 4 meetings were held between the Prime

Minister and Chief of Army Staff, the President and

Chief of Army Staff and joint meeting between the

President, Prime Minister, Chief of Army Staff, DG

ISI and Hussain Haqqani, whereafter, Hussain

Haqqani on account of their persuasion tendered his

resignation on 22.11.2011, which was accepted vide

notification dated 23.11.2011.

(iv) Former Ambassador, Hussain Huqqani has denied

categorically about his role in preparation of the

Memo who at the same time has relied upon an

affidavit tendered by James Jones, to establish that

Mansoor Ijaz has concocted this story that such

Memo was sent by him for delivering to Admiral Mike

Mullen before 9

th May, 2011.

(v)

In the meanwhile, vide letter dated 28.11.2011,

issued under the signatures of Mr. Khushnood Akhter

Lashari, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister

referred the matter to the Parliamentary Committee

to conduct probe on the subject issue. The proposed

terms of the reference are as under:-

a.

To probe into the memo purportedly written

and sent by Mr. Mansoor Ijaz.

b.

To give consequential recommendations.

(vi) Federation of Pakistan through Secretary Interior

had not denied the existence of the Memo in their

counter affidavits except raising technical flaws in

respect of undertaking journey by DG, ISI to London

CONST P 77-2011/2010, etc.

8

to conduct a meeting with Mansoor Ijaz without

permission of the Prime Minister.

(vii) Mansoor Ijaz in his reply and in counter affidavit has

contradicted the stand taken by Mr. Hussain

Haqqani, former Ambassador and he has offered to

provide further evidence to substantiate his plea that

allegedly on persuasion of Mr. Hussain Haqqani,

Memo dated 10

th may, 2011 was drafted to be

delivered to Mike Mullen through James Jones.

8. On 1

st of December, 2011 the Court itself raised the

question about the maintainability of the petitions and at the same

time it was observed that it would be appreciated if the outcome of the

proposed inquiry by the Parliamentary Committee on National Security

is shared with the Court, if possible.

9. After having heard the parties and having taken into

consideration the relevant provisions of the Constitution and the law,

judgments cited on behalf of both the sides and the pleadings of the

parties carefully, we hold as under:-

(a) In exercise of powers of Judicial Review, we hold

that in these petitions, petitioners have succeeded in

establishing that the issues involved are justiciable

and question of public importance with regard to

enforcement of fundamental rights, prima facie,

under Articles 9, 14 and 19A of the Constitution has

been made out. Thus, the petitions under Article

184(3) of the Constitution are maintainable.

(b) To delineate measures with a view to ensure

enforcement of the fundamental rights noted in para

ibid, a probe is called for to ascertain the origin,

authenticity and purpose of creating/drafting of

Memo for delivering it to Chairman of the US Joint

Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen through Gen.

(Retd.) James Logan Jones, former US National

CONST P 77-2011/2010, etc.

9

Security Advisor. Thus, in exercise of powers

conferred upon this Court under Article 187 of the

Constitution, Order XXXII, Rules 1 and 2 read with

Order XXXVI of the Supreme Court Rules, 1980

coupled with the principle of Civil Procedure Code, a

Commission is appointed. As the due process of law

is the entitlement of all the stakholders, therefore, to

ensure probe into the matter in an transparent

manner the Commission shall be comprising of:

(i) Mr. Justice Qazi Faez Isa, (Chairman)

Chief Justice of Balochistan High Court

(ii) Mr. Justice Iqbal Hameed-ur-Rehman (Member)

Chief Justice, Islamabad High Court

(iii) Mr. Justice Mushir Alam (Member)

Chief Justice, High Court of Sindh

Raja Jawwad Abbas Hassan, District & Sessions Judge,

Islamabad is appointed as Secretary to the Commission.

(c) The Commission shall hold its meetings in the

building of Islamabad High Court. The Commission

shall be exercising all the powers of Judicial Officers

for the purpose of carrying out the object mentioned

hereinabove and it shall be free to avail services of

advocates, experts of forensic science and cyber

crimes. All the Federal Secretaries, including Interior

Secretary, Secretary Cabinet, Secretary Foreign

Affairs; Chief Secretaries of all the provinces; DG,

FIA; Inspector Generals of Police of all the provinces

and Ambassadors of Pakistan in USA and UK, shall

provide necessary assistance to the Commission.

(d) Government of Pakistan through Secretary Cabinet

Division shall provide logistic support to the

Commission, subject to its demands through the

Secretary of the Commission.

(e) The Commission shall be authorized to collect

evidence within and outside Pakistan according to

prevailing laws on the subject.

CONST P 77-2011/2010, etc.

10

(f) The Commission shall provide full opportunity of

hearing to all the parties.

(g) The Commission is required to complete this task

within a period of four weeks after receipt hereof.

10. It is to be noted that the reply submitted before the Court

by Mr. Mansoor Ijaz, inter alia, comprises of certain documents

including exchange of e-mails and other communications using the

BlackBerry Messaging service commonly known as BBM between them

i.e. Mansoor Ijaz and Hussain Haqqani were in constant touch either

through BBM, e-mails or voice calling w.e.f. 9

th to 12th May, 2011. In

fact during relevant days, as many as 85 BBMs, voice calls and e-mails

were exchanged between the two. Prima facie these communications

form the most important piece of evidence regarding purported

contacts between the two for the purposes of drafting the alleged

Memo. In addition to these dates, Mansoor Ijaz also claims that he had

electronic/telephonic interactions with Hussain Haqqani on October, 28

and November, 1 2011. Therefore, in the interest of justice, it is

appropriate to get the confirmation about the veracity and authenticity

of these communications from the original company known as

Research in Motion (RIM) based in Canada being the sole and

exclusive custodian of such information. Therefore, the learned

Attorney General is directed to contact the said Company RIM through

Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs for getting confirmation about the

authenticity of the above mentioned electronic communications

exchanged between Mansoor Ijaz and Hussain Haqqani. This

confirmation may be obtained at the earliest and in order to save and

protect the forensic evidence and to scrutinize the same it should be

produced before the Commission. As forensic evidence is likely to be

CONST P 77-2011/2010, etc.

11

collected from the company Research in Motion (RIM) based in

Canada, therefore, the High Commission of Pakistan in Canada is

directed to cooperate and assist the Commission as well.

11. Vide order dated 1

st December, 2011, Mr. Hussain Haqqani

was directed not to leave the country without the permission of the

Court. This order is kept intact.

12. Office is directed to put a separate note in the Chambers of

Chief Justice of Pakistan along with the transcription of the pressconference

dated 1

st December, 2011 of Mr. Babar Awan, Sr. ASC

along with replies/reactions of the Prime Minister of Pakistan dated

23

rd December and 26th December, 2011 for passing appropriate

orders.

13. The petitions are adjourned for a date to be fixed by the

office after receipt of the report from the Commission.

TOPIC- GAS CRISES

GUESTS- WASEEM AKHTER, HAROON AKHTER KHAN, DR ASIM HUSSAIN

WASEEM AKHTER OF MQM said that the gas crises can be managed by taking wise decisions. He said that MQM presented appropriate suggestions for the use of gas in the country. He said that Pakistani industrialist is investing his money to other countries because of gas shortage. He said that the facts should be told to people of Pakistan because they think that corruption is the reason of gas shortage. He said that Dr Asim should take cabinet into confidence to take tough decisions on gas supply. He said that the parliament and political parties will support gas supply plan from Iran despite American pressure.

HAROON AKHTER OF PML said that the government knew about gas shortage for last four years. He said that the government did not take steps to resolve gas shortage problem in time. He said that Dr Asim is a competent man but he took charge too late. He said that Dr Asim is taking emergency decisions to mitigate gas crises. He said that people will come out in protest if they did not get gas in the winter. He said that the gas should be supplied on emergency basis to industry so the wheel of economy keeps moving. He said that gas supply to industry will generate revenue whereas America has suspended its aid to Pakistan. He said that the circular debt of Pakistan has reached from fifty to six and half billion rupees in last four years. He said that the government took too long to make tough decisions now new elections are not too far. He said that if America has any objection on supply of gas from Iran a nuclear deal like India should be offered to Pakistan also.

DR ASIM HUSSAIN MINISTER FOR OIL AND GAS said that the gas crisis was not managed properly in last few years. He said that there is two billion cubic feet gas shortage in the country at the moment. He said that the steps he has taken about gas shortage will show results in next few years. He said that the gas is being supplied on priority basis to domestic users. He said that the government has not taken any decision to close down CNG stations yet. He said that despite of the shortage of the gas eighteen thousand KM new pipelines have been laid down in last four years. He said that the expenses of new pipelines were being charged by gas consumers. He said that he has stopped this practice to charge consumers now. He said that many CNG stations and domestic users are involved in the theft of gas. He said that 13.9 % increase has been recommended in gas prices but domestic users will not be affected. He said that he takes tough decisions on gas supply but some people create hurdles because of political reasons.

He said that despite of American pressure Iran gas pipe line project has not been suspended. He said that next week the tenders will be called to lay down the pipeline. He said that hopefully by the March 2013 the supply of gas from Iran will initiate. He said that the good news is that China is ready to finance gas pipeline from Iran.

اگر ٹھیک طریقے سے مینیجمنٹ کی جائے تو گیس کے مسئلے پر قابو پایا جا سکتا ہے۔ وسیم اختر کی اسلام آباد ٹونائٹ میں گفتگو

ایم کیو ایم نے گیس کے مناسب استعمال کے لئیے اپنی تجاویز دی تھیں۔ وسیم اختر

آج پاکستان کا سرمایہ ملک سے باہر لگایا جا رہا ہے۔ وسیم اختر

پچھلے سالوں میں گیس کے مسئلے کو مناسب طریقے سے نہیں سمبھالا گیا۔ ڈاکٹر عاصم حسین

اس وقت ملک میں گیس کی کمی دو بلین کیوسک فٹ ہے۔ڈاکٹر عاصم حسین

حکومت کو چار سال سے گیس کی کمی کا اندازہ تھا۔ ہارون اختر

حکومت نے چار سال سے گیس کی کمی پوری کرنے کے لئیے کچھ نہیں کیا۔ ہارون اختر

ڈاکٹر عاصم قابل آدمی ہیں لیکن یہ دیر سے آئے ہیں۔ ہارون اختر

ڈاکٹر عاصم صرف ہنگامی نوعیت کے اقدامات کر رہے ہیں۔ ہارون اختر

لوگوں کو گیس نہ ملی تو وہ سڑکوں پر نکل آیں گے۔ ہارون اختر

ہم نے جو اقدامات کئیے ہیں ان کا نتیجہ چند سالوں میں سامنے آئے گا۔ ڈاکٹر عاصم حسین

موجودہ گیس کے زخائر میں سے سب سے زیادہ سپلائی گھریلو صارفین کو دی جا رہی ہے۔ ڈاکٹر عاصم حسین

ابھی سی این جی اسٹیشنز کو بند کرنے کا کوئی فیصلہ نہیں کیا گیا۔ ڈاکٹر عاصم حسین

عوام کو حقائق بتانے چاہییں وہ سمجھتے ہیں کہ کرپشن کی وجہ سے گیس نہیں مل رہی۔ وسیم اختر

نئی لائنیں بچھا کر اخراجات صارفین سے وصول کئیے جا رہے تھے۔ ڈاکٹر عاصم حسین

میں نے صارفین سے اخراجات وصول کرنے کا سلسلہ اب بند کر دیا ہے۔ ڈاکٹر عاصم حسین

بہت سے سی این جی اسٹیشنز اور گھریلو صارفین گیس کی چوری میں بھی ملوث ہیں۔ ڈاکٹر عاصم حسین

میرے خیال میں صنعتوں کو ترجیحی بنیادوں پر گیس ملنی چاہئیے تا کہ معیشت کا پہیہ چلتا رہے۔ ہارون اختر

پاکستان کی سیاسی جماعتیں اور پارلیمنٹ ایران سے گیس سپلائی لائن کی حمایت کرتی ہیں۔ وسیم اختر

امریکہ کو ایران سے گیس سپلائی پر اعتراض ہے تو بھارت کی طرح نیوکیلئیر ڈیل پاکستان کو بھی دے۔ ہارون اختر

خوشخبری ہے کہ ایران گیس سپلائی لائن کے لئیے چین سے فنڈنگ بھی مل چکی ہے۔ ڈاکڑ عاصم حسین
