Punishment for high treason
Punishment for high treason legal meaning, translation and judicial precedents.
Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)
When any validation was accorded by the Parliament to unconstitutional and illegal acts of a usurper (dictator) through any means whatsoever, the Parliament as a whole shall cease to exist because each member by such act would earn the penalty of high treason and would be liable to be prosecuted under the provisions of High Treason (Punishment) Act, 1973
Parliament as a whole was no exception nor was it exempted from such liability rather it was equally liable for such punishment and the moment it endorsed or validated action of dictators on whatever ground, it shall immediately cease to exist and fresh election shall essentially be held for the new Parliament.
