Parliament is the supreme legislative body of the state as is the Supreme Court in its own field. Thay can't interfere that much in each other's domain. And don't forget a legislative body and it's Speaker has more authority as they can make laws and Supreme Court can only interpret or pass judgment at laws provided by the Parliament.Dude this'll go to supreme court and they'll probably dismiss it
As it sounds shady af- legally/ constitutionally speaking
There have been countless decisions and observation by the courts that they can't hold Speaker of National Assembly accountable of what he does in the Assembly. Even all members of assembly are protected by the constitutional immunity from the courts of whatever the proceedings and debates they do in the Parliament.
MNAs can declare any federal institution or individuals as "Shaitan", traitor or terrorists and get away with it without any repercussions due to their constitutional immunity within the assembly. At best speaker can omit those words from the record. That's it.
That's why the petition to immediately reverse the speaker's ruling was dismissed by the Supreme Court. SC has taken suomoto notice and called upon almost all the stake holders, so these proceedings would linger on for sure and don't expect any extraordinary relief immediately whatsoever.
The Govt would 1st ask and challenge SC's jurisdiction over the speaker National Assembly as it has repeatedly denied to address any complaints against National Assembly proceedings due to article 69 of the constitution.
There's a single case when the PM Yusuf Raza Gilani was convicted and disqualified by the court and Speaker wasn't forwarding the relevant documents to the ECP to issue deseat and disqualification notification of the then PM due to obvious prior clear court orders. Apart from that SC never intervened in Parliamentary affairs. And if it does break all it's precedences then the detailed ruling of the speaker would be examined and investigated which is full of heinous charges against the opposition parties. And the petition of Govt that was rejected to suspend NCV and launch a probe against the alleged conspiracy of regime toppling would get reincarnated again.
Then foreign office, NSC, would also be involved. Then the records of opposition members, media persons and Govt officials contact with foreign powers and the failed tried of foreign envoys to contact some key personalities would also be dragged in. If it doesn't get squashed earlier under article 69, then it would open the gates for a whole new Pandora's box.
So elections seem to be inevitable.
