A member of the Lahore High Court Bar Association (LHCBA) has approached the Supreme Court of Pakistan against the decision of a full bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) declaring remission awarded to the prisoners by President and Governor as contrary to law.
The petitioner, M D Tahir contended that under article 25 of the Constitution President of Pakistan enjoyed unfettered powers to grant remission to prisoners. He, therefore, prayed to the court to allow this petition and set aside the decision of the full bench.
