| 2016-08-28 |
| [DAWN] The Supreme Court on Saturday returned a petition moved amid much fanfare by the Jamaat-e-Islami ... The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independentbranch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... demanding an inquiry into the Panama Papers leaks with the registrar office terming it ’frivolous’. "This petition prima facie appears to be a frivolous petition within the contemplation of Order XVII Rule 5 of the Supreme Court Rules 1980," said an order issued by the registrar office. The registrar under the Supreme Court Rules 1980, Order XVII, is empowered to refuse to receive a petition on the grounds that it has not been filed in accordance with the rules or is frivolous or contains scandalous matter. |
