ISLAMABAD (PNI) Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senator Irfan Siddiqui Thursday demanded inquiry into how come a bill had gone missing when sent for presidential assent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a mockery of legislative process,\u201d Senator Siddiqui said in a letter sent to Speaker National Assembly Raja Pervez Ashraf.<\/p>\n

The Senator asked the Speaker to order an inquiry on how a bill that was approved by both houses of the parliament had gone missing when sent to the president for assent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The letter also asked the Speaker to identify the culprits behind the act.
\nThe PML-N leader said that the NA Speaker still holds the constitutional position despite the fact that the assembly has been dissolved after completion of its term.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been 14 months that there is no clue about the whereabouts of the bill,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Senator Siddiqui asked the Speaker to once again send the bill to the president for assent.<\/p>\n

Prepared by Senator Siddiqui, the bill pertains to the separation of powers between the executive and judiciary.<\/p>\n

The bill was unanimously passed in the Senate on May 23 and then by the National Assembly on June 8, 2022. It was then sent to PM Office to be forwarded to the President for the approval on June 21.<\/p>\n

According to the official procedure, the secretariats of the National Assembly and Senate send a bill after passage by both the houses to the ministry of parliamentary affairs which then sends it to the Prime Minister\u2019s Secretariat.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister\u2019s office transmits the bill to the Presidency for the assent of President.<\/p>\n

But the bill has gone missing ever since it was forwarded to the president.<\/p>\n

The Code of Criminal Procedure (Amendment) Act 2022 bill sought separation of judiciary from the executive through substitution of the special judicial magistrates with judicial magistrates designated for trails of petty crimes in summary trials.<\/p>\n

In July 2019, it would be pertinent to mention, that Senator Siddiqui was arrested, handcuffed and put behind bars under the Tenancy Act.<\/p>\n

The victimization encouraged Senator Siddiqui to address lacunas in the existing laws that were enforced for more than 100 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
