This is apropos of the article “Why can’t SC summon President?” Nov 16, 2009 published in letter to editor dawn news paper. The writer pointed Aitzaz Ahsan on saying that SC could not summon the president under article 248 and has rightfully questioned about open and equal judicial proceedings. But there is need to understand that it is not only the opinion of Aitzaz, other law experts have also verified this president’s immunity against judicial proceedings under article 248 of constitution 1973 Pakistan. The article 248 of constitution explicitly exempts president to face any charges in his term of presidency and it is a part of Law. Thus it is the problem in the law, because men made laws are always manipulated and thus all men made systems carry the same problem. The solution is a system based on Islam and commandments of Quran and Sunnah.
