 While the Supreme Court of Pakistan upheld the death sentence of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto

 BY Zulfiqar Qadri

  March 24, 1979 is the day the Supreme Court of Pakistan rejects the request for review of an appeal against former Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's Lahore death sentence and the judgment sentenced by the court.  A seven-member bench of the High Court has heard the case. Four judges belonging to Punjab gave a decision in favor of Zulfiqar Ali Bhatti while three judges belonging to Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa opposed Sindh.  The story begins in Multan on the night of November 10, 1974, when Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto disappeared from public engagements at a palace-shaped bungalow of Governor Nawab Sadiq Hussain Qureshi in Multan at that moment.  Military Secretary General Imtiaz heard him say something in the ear.  Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto said that it was a condition of cigar pouring into ash tree!  Oh!  No very sad on the other hand Ahmed Raza Kasuri, a member of the National Assembly elected from the constituency of Pakistan Peoples Party at the same time in Lahore, was known by his father Nawab Mohammad Ahmad Khan Kasuri, who was known for his freedom movement during the British rule.  And the armed revolutionaries were fighting against Bhatt Singh and his associates, that Nawab Mohammad Ahmad Khan Kasuri, the magistrate who had signed the block warrants by Bhatt Singh.  Ahmed Raza Kasuri was returning from a marriage party with his father Nawab Mohammad Ahmad Khan Kasuri overnight when unknown gunmen opened fire on his vehicle at Shah Jamal Chowk of Shadmani Colony, in which National Assembly member Ahmed Raza Kasuri's father.  Nawab Mohammad Ahmad Khan Kasuri was seriously injured.  He was taken to United Christian Hospital Lahore, but he could not recover the wounds and died at the hospital.  Ahmed Raza Kasuri on the FIR of his father's assassination on Firah Era Thani when the prime

minister came in front of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to explain to the SHO, but the SP went to Lahore.  Immediately after the arrival of the Punjab, the Chief Minister of Punjab, Mian Muhammad Hanif Rami was alerted, who then briefed the Prime Minister's Military Secretary, Lt. Gen. Imtiaz, who in Multan made the Prime Minister aware of the situation.  Immediately, I ordered the IG Punjab to cut FRI's FIR at his will.  What did Zulfiqar Ali Bhatti know that it was the FIR that he was defending against, that the FIR would be the cause of his impeachment.  That Bhutto Sahib, like whom people are also really rare, makes no case despite being criminally against a light silk wall in this era.  A tribunal headed by Justice Shafi-ur-Rahman of the Lahore High Court also set up a tribunal on the murder of Nawab Muhammad Ahmed Khan Kasuri, but Justice Shafi-ur-Rehman filed the case office.

 On July 5, 1977, when General Zia established a military martial law over the country, it closed the closed case.  Famous Federal Security Force Director General Masood Mahmood, Director Operations Mian Abbas, Inspector Ghulam Hussein, Inspector Arshad Iqbal, ASI Rana Iftikhar and Sufi Ghulam Mustafa were formally arrested in this case.  On September 3, 1977, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Shaheed was arrested from 70 Clifton, but on September 13, 1977, Justice KM Samadani of Lahore High Court released Bhatti Sahib on bail.  On September 17, 1977, Bhatti Sahib was arrested from Al Murtaza House on Eid night and first shifted to Sukkur Central Jail and later from Karachi Central Jail to Kot Lakpat Jail, Lahore.  Zia's government, pursuing the constitution and the law, sent the case of Bhatt Sahib directly to the District Sessions Judge, not directly to the Lahore High Court Chief Justice Maulvi Mushtaq, who rejected Bhatt's bail and set up a five-member bench headed by Chief Justice Moulavi Mushtaq.  , Which included Justice Aftab Hussein, Justice Zakiuddin, Justice Gul Baz Khan and Justice MH Qureshi.  Bhatti declared the entire case a conspiracy and conspiracy against him.  But allegedly by Maulvi Mushtaq General Zia, it was determined that Bhatt Sahib was to be sentenced to death in this case, and so on.  Finally, on March 18, 1978, a five-member bench headed by Chief Justice of the Lahore High Court Moulav Mushtaq, along with Bhatt Sahib, Mian Abbas, Arshad Iqbal, Sufi Ghulam Mustafa and Rana Iftikhar were sentenced to death in the Nawab Muhammad Ahmed Khan Kasuri case.  The witnesses were acquitted by FSF Director General Masood Mahmood and Inspector Ghulam Hussein from the case.  On March 25, 1978, Bhutto's lawyers Yahya Bakhtiar, Dost Muhammad Awan, Ghulam Ali Memon and the popular Qadri filed an appeal in the Supreme Court against the High Court decision.  Before the appeal of General Zia Bhatt, Supreme Court Chief Justice Jacob Ali Khan removed Anwarul Haq as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.  A nine-member bench headed by Chief Justice Anwarul Haque of the Supreme Court was constituted, comprising Justice Naseem Hassan Shah, Justice Akram, Justice Karam Alahi Chauhan, Justice Safdar Shah, Justice Mohammad Halim, Justice Darab Patel, Justice Qaisar Khan and Justice Qaisar Khan.  Ahmed was involved.  Justice Kaiser Khan was retired on the appeal of Bhutti, while Justice Waheeduddin Ahmed was informed of the cause of the illness and was separated from this important case.

 Finally, on February 6, 1979, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Anwarul Haq, passed judgment on this important case.  The seven-member bench was divided into two parts.  Chief Justice Anwarul Haq, Justice Nasim Hassan Shah, Justice Akram and Justice Karam Alhai Chauhan upheld the Lahore High Court verdict while retaining the death sentence of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and others, while three judges of the Supreme Court, Justice Safdar Shah,  Justice Mohammad Haleem and Justice Drab Patel disagreed with the verdict, declaring Bhatti Sahib as a sinless verdict.  If the bench comprises Justice Kaiser Khan and Justice Waheeduddin, the situation would have been different.  Lawmakers around the world call this decision controversial and prejudiced.  While Bhutto was initially given the right to a sessions court, Maulvi Mushtaq was a prejudiced judge who had earlier ruled out Bhutto's failure to become the Chief Justice of the High Court.  Bhutto had never committed any bloodshed, his name was involved in blood transfusions, and never did such an accused come to fruition.  But most importantly, one of the judges who sentenced Bhatti Sahib to death, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Justice Naseem Hassan Shah, has admitted that the pressure created by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was a result of General Zia's pressure.  Was a wrong decision.  Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's opponents for martyrdom now say that it was a judicial killing, but in the libraries of all the Bar Councils of Pakistan, including the District Court, the High Courts and the Supreme Court, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto appeared in the law books PLD (PLD).  Today, in 302 cases, the accused respondents are being written.  But this case cannot be referred to the court as a reference
