Independent lawmaker Mohsin Dawar introduced amendments which were accepted. The sub-clause (1) clause 5 of the bill passed by the Standing Committee suggested that “ An appeal shall lie within thirty days from a final order of a bench of the Supreme Court who exercised jurisdiction under clause (3) of the Article 184 of the Constitution to a larger bench of the Supreme Court and such appeal shall, for hearing, be fixed within a period not exceeding fourteen days. However, MNA Mohsin Dawar suggested to substitute the words “a final” in the above sub-clause with the word “ an” which was accepted. He also suggested to substitute the sub-clause (2) of the clause 5 with the following “The right of appeal under sub-section (1) shall also be available to an aggrieved person against whom an order has been made under clause (3) of Article 184 of the Constitution, prior to the commencement of this Act: Provided that the appeal under this sub-section shall be filed within thirty days of the commencement of this Act.” This amendment was also approved. Earlier, the sub-clause (2) of clause 5 as approved by the committee stated that “ The provision of sub-section (1) shall not withstanding anything contained in sub-section (2) of the section, also apply to the cases decided within 30 days prior to the commencement of this Act”. According to statement of objects and reasons of the bill, the bill would also ensure right of free trail and due process of Law as enshrined under Article 10A of the Constitution.
