ISLAMAABD :Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman has moved the Supreme Court to challenge the Official Secrets Act and the Army Amendment Act.
The former prime minister has knocked on the door of apex court through Advocate Shoaib Shaheen who has filed a constitutional petition challenging the laws impacting lives of people.
The petition argues that both acts violate the provisions of Article 10A, Article 8 and Article 19, and further claims that the president did not sign the acts into law.
The petition seeks the declaration of the Official Secrets Act and the Army Amendment Act as null and void until the constitutional petition is decided upon.
It is noteworthy that President Dr Arif Alvi expressed his dissent over the Official Secrets Act and the Army Amendment Bill through his personal X (formerly Twitter) account and clarified that he did not sign either of these laws.
