Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Interior and Legal Affairs Attaullah Tarar on Monday said being the supreme legislative authority and creator of the Constitution, parliament had all the rights to formulate laws.
Speaking to the media outside the Supreme Court (SC), he said the apex court was hearing a case regarding a law which had not yet been adopted by parliament.
"The parliament is the supreme law-making authority and all other state institutions derive their power from it. It is unconstitutional to stop it from framing the law," he added.
“As a student of law, I think that the apex court cannot hear a case against a law which curtails its suo-moto powers,” he stressed.
