FOREWORD Living nations preserve their history and traditions which remind the coming generations of their glorious past. The history of Provincial Assembly of the Punjab, the largest House of legislature in Pakistan, extends over a period of more than a century. Its evolutionary journey started in 1897 when the first ever provincial legislature in Punjab was constituted as Council of the Lieutenant Governor of Punjab. It was a nominated body with very limited legislative powers. It was succeeded by the Punjab Legislative Council in 1921 and then by the Punjab Legislative Assembly in 1937. On independence in 1947, it continued as the West Punjab Legislative Assembly, subsequently renamed as Punjab Legislative Assembly. Upon formation of One Unit of West Pakistan, this Institution also served as Provincial Assembly of West Pakistan from 1955 to 1969. After the dissolution of One Unit in 1970, it has been serving as the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab since 1972. This book contains the name lists of members of the Legislative Councils and Assemblies of the Province of Punjab constituted from 1897 to date. A brief description of the legal framework under which the above mentioned Houses of legislature were constituted and profile of each of them has also been given before the name lists of Members of each Assembly. The entire credit for the production of this revealing publication goes to the Editorial Board who, with their sustained efforts, collected relevant information spreading over a period of more than a century. This publication has been brought out as a humble tribute to our forerunners. v

I hope that this publication will serve a useful purpose in acquainting the public of this august House and the personalities who played their role in the political history of the country during the pre independence and the post independence periods. RANA MUHAMMAD IQBAL KHAN Speaker Provincial Assembly of the Punjab June 2015 Lahore

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION The need to compile a consolidated history and list of Members of the Punjab Legislature had long been felt for the purpose of research in the parliamentary and legislative history of the largest Province of Pakistan i.e. the Punjab. In 1987, an attempt was made in this regard and a book titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Punjab Legislatorsâ&#x20AC;? was published by the Punjab Assembly Secretariat which contained the names of the Legislators. Since then, five new Assemblies have been constituted. Besides updating the book, there was a need for adding additional material in the book about the legal framework and profile of each Assembly. Visualizing the research oriented importance of the book, Ch Muhammad Afzal Sahi, Speaker, Provincial Assembly of the Punjab, appointed a separate Editorial Board, under the patronage of the Secretary, comprising Mr Inayat Ullah Lak, Mr Khalid Mahmood and Dr Muhammad Arshad Ovaisi. This book is much more than a revised version of the 1987 publication. It has been divided into four Parts. A brief profile of each Legislature has been given which is followed by the list of Parliamentarians of that period. It is hoped that this book will attract the interest of the researchers and general readers alike. All efforts have been made to keep this compilation free from errors. Any suggestion, however, for improvement in the book would be appreciated. SAEED AHMAD Secretary Provincial Assembly of the Punjab June 2007 Lahore vii

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION A sequal to “The Punjab Legislators” published in 1987 and the first edition of “The Punjab Parliamentarians” published in June 2007 is in your hands. The first edition, contained name lists of Members of the Punjab Legislature from 1897 to 2007 along with the profile of each legislature. After constitution of the present Provincial Assembly of the Punjab in 2008, there was a need to update the first edition. By and large, this present publication has the same layout as that of the 2007 edition. It has been divided into four Parts. A brief profile of each Legislature has been given followed by the list of Parliamentarians of that period.

PREFACE (Third Edition) As the current era is known as the era of Information Technology and advanced knowledge that is why these two disciplines instigate people to learn and get more and more information about their desired objects. So I hope that this revised Third Edition of the Punjab Parliamentarians from 1897 to 2014 would satisfy the needs of not only the political leaders but also of the researchers and students. I am sure that this humble effort of the Assembly Secretariat would be a great reference book. The first and second editions provided information about the names of Members of the Punjab Legislature from 1897 to 2007 along with a sketch of each legislature. Now after the constitution of the present Punjab Assembly, it was felt indispensable to update\improve the book. Overall the present Revised Third Edition has the same lay out as that of the 2007 edition. It has four parts i.e., Pre-Independence period, PostIndependence Period, Advisory Councils and Miscellaneous. A brief sketch of each legislature has been given along with List of the Parliamentarians of that period. The Assembly Secretariat has taken all possible care and caution, however, pointing of omissions and errors would be welcomed to rectify the same in the next edition. Suggestions with respect to its improvement would be highly appreciated. Rai Mumtaz Hussain Babar Senior Secretary Provincial Assembly of the Punjab June, 2015 Lahore,

INTRODUCTION Located in South Asia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is bordered by Afghanistan and Iran in the west, the Republic of India in the east and the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Republic of China in the far northeast. Pakistan is the sixth most populous country with the second largest Muslim population in the world after Indonesia. Pakistan covers an area of 796,095 sq km and has an estimated population over 174 million with 97% Muslim majority. Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh nuclear state Pakistan is a member of the United Nations, Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, World Trade Organization, Shanghai Cooperation Organization, G33 Developing Countries, Group of 77 Developing Nations, SAARC, major non-NATO ally of the United States. Pakistan emerged as an independent state after the end of British rule in India in 1947. Originally it comprised two wings, i.e. East Pakistan and West Pakistan. In 1971, however, political dissent in East Pakistan culminated in secession of East Pakistan as an independent state of Bangladesh and West Pakistan became the present day Pakistan which comprises four provinces: Punjab, Sindh, North West Frontier and Balochistan, besides the Federally Administered Tribal Areas. Islamabad is the federal capital. The province of Punjab is the largest of the four provinces. Present day Punjab was once a part of Indian Punjab before independence in 1947. For this reason, the history of Provincial Assembly of the Punjab is divided in two periods, i.e. pre-independence period and the post independence period. According to the present Constitution, Pakistan is a federal republic xiii

with a bicameral national Parliament and four unicameral Provincial Assemblies in its four provinces. The Provincial Assembly of the Punjab, Pakistan, like other parliamentary institutions in the country, has evolved through a long process of constitutional development during the pre independence and the post independence periods. The genesis of the legislature in the sub-continent can be traced back to the nineteenth century. From 1833 to 1861, the Governor General in Council was the sole administrative as well as the legislative authority in the British India, who ran the administration and was assisted by the executive and legislative councils. Beneath the Governor General were the Governors of Provinces of India. The War of Independence waged in 1857 against the British rulers of India made them realize the necessity of establishing closer contacts with the local public and its opinion. The enactment of the Indian Councils Act, 1861 was the aftermath. This Act provided for the establishment of a Council of the Lieutenant Governor at the state level to transact legislative business as the legislative council. The 1861 Act thus laid the foundation for the future legislature as an independent entity separate from the Executive Council. The first council in the Punjab, however, was yet to be constituted when the Indian Councils Act, 1892 was passed. This Act enlarged the functions of the Council in two respects, firstly, the Council could discuss the annual financial statement and secondly, it could ask questions subject to certain limitation. Members were to hold office for two years. First Legislative Council in the province of the Punjab under the Indian Councils Act, 1861, as modified by the Indian Councils Act, 1892, was constituted in 1897. This Council comprised both official and nonxiv

official members. The meetings of the Council were presided over by the Lieutenant Governor himself. Element of election in the Legislative Council was introduced for the first time by the Indian Councils Act, 1909, also known as the Morley-Minto Reforms. The Act gave Indians limited role in the legislative councils. It dispensed with official majorities in the Provincial Legislative Councils and gave them power to move resolutions upon matters of general public interest and also upon the Budget and to ask supplementary questions. This Act carried constitutional development a step further. The Government of India Act, 1915, was enacted to consolidate the provisions of all the preceding Acts. This Act also provided for the constitution of the Punjab Legislative Council instead of the Councils of Lieutenant Governor. During the period from 1897 to 1920, four Councils of Lieutenant Governor were constituted, in 1897, 1910, 1913 and 1916. The Montague-Chelmsford Reforms were introduced by the British Government to set up self-governing institutions in India. The reforms were outlined in the Montague-Chelmsford Report prepared in 1918 and formed the basis of the Government of India Act, 1919. The 1919 Act was essentially transitional in character. The franchise was extended, and increased authority was given to the central and the provincial legislative councils. The most important feature of the 1919 Act was the introduction of a new system of dyarchy or double government in the Provinces. The Act created 11 self-governing provinces. The Governor could not be a member of the Legislative Council, he could, however, address the members in the Legislative Council. Four Legislative Councils under this Act were constituted in xv

Punjab; in 1921, 1924, 1927 and 1930. Under Section 84 of the 1919 Act, a statutory commission was to be appointed at the end of ten years, to determine the next stage in the realization of self-rule in India. Accordingly, the British government appointed a Commission under Sir John Simon in November 1927. The Commission, which had no Indian members, was given the task to investigate Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constitutional problems and make recommendations to the government on the future Constitution of India. The Commission recommended further constitutional changes, which were embodied in the Government of India Act, 1935. This Act granted Indian provinces autonomy and the dyarchical system was discontinued. The 1935 Act provided for a Federation and the constituent units as the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Provinces. This Act, for the first time, provided for the constitution of an Assembly in place of a Council. Almost all Assembly members were to be elected, with the exception of some special and otherwise unrepresented groups. The term of the Assembly was fixed as five years. The 1935 Act also made a division of powers between the Centre and the Provinces. Two Legislative Assemblies were constituted under this Act, in 1937 and 1946. In 1947, the sub-continent was divided into two sovereign and independent states of Pakistan and India under the Indian Independence Act, 1947. Pending promulgation of a Constitution, the Government of India Act, 1935, with necessary alterations and modifications through the Pakistan (Provisional Constitution) Order, 1947, was adopted as the provisional Constitution. With the creation of Pakistan, the province of Punjab was also divided into two provinces, i.e. Western Punjab (in Pakistan) and Eastern Punjab xvi

(in India) resulting in the division of the Punjab Legislative Assembly, constituted in 1946, into East Punjab and West Punjab Legislative Assemblies. This carried forward West Punjab Legislative Assembly was declared to be the first Provincial Assembly after independence under the Pakistan (Provincial Legislatures) Order, 1947, and was dissolved in 1949. In 1950, the Province of West Punjab was renamed as Province of Punjab and the second Assembly was constituted in 1951 which ceased to exist when under the Establishment of West Pakistan Act, 1955, the provincial units and other states were incorporated into a single Province namely Province of West Pakistan. Awaiting enactment of the first Constitution by the Constituent Assembly, the 1955 Act contained provision for constitution of an interim Provincial Assembly of West Pakistan which was elected in 1956 in accordance with the provisions of the said Act, however, before it could hold its first sitting, the first Constitution of Pakistan was enacted and the interim Assembly was declared to be the first Provincial Assembly of West Pakistan in accordance with the provisions of the 1956 Constitution. On October 7, 1958, Martial Law was imposed in the country, the Assemblies were dissolved and the 1956 Constitution was abrogated. No elections under the 1956 Constitution, therefore, could be held. The second Constitution of Pakistan was promulgated on March 1, 1962 and the Martial Law was lifted. The 1962 Constitution provided for a unicameral legislature. The principle of Basic Democracy was introduced for the first time in the country and the system of indirect elections was presented. The next two Provincial Assemblies of West Pakistan were constituted in 1962 and 1965 under the 1962 Constitution. xvii

On March 25, 1969, Martial Law was again imposed in the country, the 1962 Constitution was abrogated and the Assemblies were dissolved. In July 1970, the Province of West Pakistan was abolished and the status of provinces was restored under the West Pakistan (Dissolution) Order, 1970 (PO I of 1970). A Legal Framework Order, 1970 was issued which provided for setting up of a National Assembly and Provincial Assemblies of East Pakistan, Punjab, Sindh, KPK and Balochistan. The elections to the National Assembly and Provincial Assemblies were held on December 7 and 17, 1970 respectively. However, due to political crisis, the elected Assemblies could not become functional till 1972 when the Martial Law was lifted and an Interim Constitution came into force on April 21, 1972. The National Assembly formed a Constitution Committee on April 17, 1972 to prepare the first draft for framing a Constitution. The report of the Committee was presented on December 31, 1972 along with a draft Constitution. It was unanimously passed by the National Assembly in its session held on April 10, 1973, was authenticated by the President on April 12, 1973, and came into force on August 14, 1973. Provincial Assembly of the Punjab, constituted as a result of general elections held in December 1970 under the Legal Framework Order, 1970, was declared to be the first Assembly in accordance with the provisions of the 1973 Constitution. The term of the Assembly was fixed as five years, however, it was dissolved few months before completion of its tenure. The second Assembly under the 1973 Constitution was constituted in April 1977, however, it was also dissolved after only two months and twenty-seven days, as a result of promulgation of Martial Law on xviii

July 5, 1977. The 1973 Constitution was kept in abeyance for a period of about 8 years and, after having been substantially amended, it was partially reactivated on March 10, 1985. With the lifting of Martial Law on December 30, 1985, the Constitution was wholly restored. The successive Punjab Assemblies were constituted in 1985, 1988, 1990, 1993 and 1997. All these Assemblies were dissolved before completion of their constitutional tenure of five years. After yet another military intervention on October 12, 1999, the Parliament and Provincial Assemblies were suspended and later dissolved. Following a constitutional gap of three years, the Assemblies were constituted as a result of general elections held in October 2002. The Assemblies were near the completion of their constitutional tenure of five years, when the Chief of Army Staff/President declared emergency in the country on November 3, 2007, following increasing acts of terrorism and judicial activism. A Provisional Constitution Order was issued suspending the Constitution. The National Assembly stood dissolved on November 15, 2007 after completing its constitutional life and the Provincial Assemblies were dissolved on November 18, 2007, few days before completion of five yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tenure. It was decided to hold general elections on January 8, 2008. The state of emergency was lifted on December 15, 2007 and the Constitution was restored with certain amendments. Following the assassination of the former Prime Minister, Ms Benazir Bhutto on December 27, 2007, general elections were postponed till February 18, 2008. The Punjab Assembly, constituted as a result of February 2008 general elections, was the fifteenth Assembly after independence. The Assembly stood dissolved after completing its constitutional life on March 2013 on the advice of Chief Minister. xix

The present Punjab Assembly constituted as a result of May 2013 general elections is the sixteenth Assembly after independence. Along with the name lists of the Parliamentarians, who ever remained a member of Punjab legislature, this book contains legal framework and composition of all the legislatures constituted since 1897 to date. It has been divided into four Parts. Part 1 relates to pre independence period and Part 2 covers post independence period. During the periods of Martial Law in the country, Advisory Councils were also constituted on two occasions, which had no legislative powers but were housed in the Assembly building. A brief profile of these Councils has been given in Part 3. Part 4 of the book contains lists of the Governors, Chief Ministers, Speakers, Deputy Speakers, Leaders of Opposition and Secretaries.

The Indian Councils Act, 1861 laid the foundation for the establishment of a local legislature in the Punjab; and section 44 of the Act, as well as the dispatch of Sir Charles Wood, Her Majestyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Secretary of State for India, left it to the Governor-General in Council to determine at what time, effect should be given to this intention. The older provinces received the privilege at once but the province of Punjab, along with a few others, was admitted to this privilege after a period of 36 years1, when the 1861 Act had been modified by the Indian Councils Act, 1892. The first ever Legislature in the Punjab was thus constituted in 1897. Though it was a nominated body of both official and non-official members, it had the power of making laws. The General Clauses Act, 1898 (moved by Sir Louis William Dane on November 1, 1897 and passed by the Council on April 15, 1898) was the first enactment in the history of Punjab. The first Council functioned for a period of more than eleven years. It held 28 meetings and passed 23 laws . The meetings of the Council were presided over by the Lieutenant Governor himself.

Council of the Lieutenant Governor of the Punjab 1910 January 3, 1910 to December 14, 1912

The first Council was a body of nominated members only and there was a need to introduce the element of election in the Legislative Council, which was, for the first time, brought in by the Indian Councils Act, 1909, as a result of the Minto-Morley Reforms. The membership was increased from ten to thirty; including fourteen non-official and five elected members1. The Council was also given power to pass resolutions, on the budget, as also on matters of public importance, which, however, were of a recommendatory nature. The second Council of the Lieutenant Governor was thus constituted in accordance with the provisions of Indian Councils Acts of 1861, 1892 and 1909. This Council held 18 meetings during its life of three years; and passed 14 Acts2.

Punjab Legislative Council 1921 January 8, 1921 to October 27, 1923

The First World War gave momentum to the growing demand for selfgovernment in British India. Therefore, the new constitutional reforms, under the Montague-Chelmsford scheme, were introduced by the British Government. The purpose of this reform scheme was to introduce new system of Government in the Provinces with the name of â&#x20AC;&#x153;dyarchyâ&#x20AC;?. This scheme was implemented through the Government of India Act, 1919. The Government of India Act, 1915, had already provided for the constitution of the Punjab Legislative Council instead of the Councils of Lieutenant Governor. The first Punjab Legislative Council under the 1919 Act was constituted in 1921. The Council comprised 93 members2, seventy per cent to be elected and rest to be nominated; and the term of the Council was fixed as three years. Previously (till 1920), the Lieutenant Governor presided over the meetings of the Council, and for the first time, a nominated person (designated as President), and in his absence, an elected person (designated as Deputy President) was to preside the meetings of the Council3. The first election which was conducted in the House was of deputy president of the Council which was contested between Sardar Mahtab Singh and Chuadhri M. Amin. Sardar Mahtab Singh won the election by securing 48 votes, while Ch. M. Amin secured 37 votes. Mace which is the symbol of the authority of the House was first time presented to the House by the Governor of the Punjab in the session held

on November 3, 1921. The House unanimously accepted the gift from the Governor4. The first Punjab Legislative Council had held 98 meetings when the Lieutenant Governor dissolved the Council on October 27, 1923 after completion of its tenure5. The announcement of its dissolution was made by the Governor Punjab in his address to the Council.

Punjab Legislative Council 1930 October 24, 1930 to November 10, 1936

The fourth and the last Legislative Council under the Government of India Act, 1919 was constituted in 1930. On October 25, 1930, Khan Bahadur Chaudhry Sir Shahab-ud-Din was elected unopposed as President for the third consecutive term1. He was appointed Minister for Education on October 20, 19362; and was succeeded by Rao Bahadur Chaudhry Chhotu Ram3. Though the term of the Council was three years, but due to ongoing political development, it was given leases of life from time to time. In the meanwhile, the Government of India Act, 1935 was passed which laid down the tenure of the provincial legislature to be five years. In the circumstances, the Council continued for more than six years. The Council held 197 meetings during its extended tenure; and passed 26 Acts4. It is worth mentioning that during the tenure of this Council, construction of the present Assembly building was inaugurated on November 17, 1935 by Sardar Sir Jogendra Singh, Minister for Agriculture.

Punjab Legislative Council

1937, 1946

Punjab Legislative Council 1937 April 5, 1937 to March 19, 1945

The popular demand, for more responsible government and for fully sovereign assemblies, grew stronger and stronger. The British Government held a series of round table conferences in London during the period from 1930 to 1932 with representatives of various parties in India and formulated certain constitutional reforms. These reforms were eventually embodied in the Government of India Act, 1935. This Act introduced Provincial autonomy which was of a controlled type, but still it was an improvement over the previous system of dyarchy. The Government of India Act, 1935 brought significant change in the political scenario of the sub-continent. It provided for the constitution of Punjab Legislative Assembly instead of the Punjab Legislative Council and the office of President was re-designated as Speaker. The membership of the Assembly was fixed as 175 divided into various categories1. The election of the first Legislative Assembly under the said Act was held in 1936. The first sitting of the first Assembly was held on April 5, 1937 at Council Hall, Lahore as the Assembly building was under construction. The Assembly elected its first Speaker on April 6, 1937. The first ever walk-out, in the history of Punjab Legislature, was also staged at this occasion2.

See subsection (1) of section 61, Government of India Act, 1935. Proceedings, Punjab Legislative Assembly, April 6, 1937, page 18.

The first meeting in the present building was held on November 10, 19381. The office of Sergeant at arms was first introduce on the sitting held on June 29, 1937. At that time it is called Marshal of the House2. The first ever library Committee was also constituted by Mr Speaker in the sitting held on December 12, 1939., under the Chairmanship of Deputy Speaker. The term of the Assembly was five years3, however, due to various political developments as well as World War II, the Assembly continued for about eight years and its last sitting was held on March 19, 1945. The Assembly held 368 sittings during its extended life.

Punjab Legislative Assembly 1946 March 21, 1946 to July 4, 1947

In accordance with the provisions of the Government of India Act, 1935, the second Legislative Assembly was constituted in 1945 with the same membership of 175. As Malik Khizar Hayat Khan Tiwana lost the majority in the House and no party was in position to form the government then Governor Punjab E. M. JENKINS proclaimed emergency and assumed the power of executive and legislature. The text of proclaimation of emergency is given below: The 5th March 1947 No. 465-Leg.−The following Proclamation by His Excellency the Governor of the Punjab, dated the 5th March 1947, is published for general information:PROCLAMATION WHEREAS the Governor of the Province of the Punjab is satisfied that a situation has arisen in which the Government of the Province cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Government of India Act, 1935 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”): Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by Section 93 of the Act and with the concurrence of the Governor-General, the Governor by this Proclamation−

(a) declares that all his functions under the Act shall be exercised by him in his discretion ; 99

(b) assumes of himself all powers vested by or under the Act in the Provincial Legislature and all powers vested in the Provincial Legislative Assembly, but not so as to affect any power exercisable by His Majesty with respect of Bills reserved for his consideration or the disallowance of Acts ; and he hereby makes the following incidental or consequential provisions which appear to him to be necessary or desirable for giving effect to the objects of this Proclamation, namelyâ&#x2C6;&#x2019;

(1) The operation of the following provisions of the Act is hereby suspended, namely, Sections 50 and 51, Section 59, so far as it relates to or requires consultation with Ministers, Sections 62 to 67 (both inclusive) and 70 to 74 (both inclusive), the proviso to Section 75, the proviso to subsection (1) and (2) of Section 78, and so much of subsection (3) thereof as relates to salaries and allowances of Minister, Sections 79 to 82 (both inclusive), so much of subsection (1) of Section 83 as relates to the passing of a Resolution by the Provincial Legislative Assembly ; sub-section (2) of Section 83 ; Sections 84 to 90 (both inclusive) and so much of Section 169 as relates to the laying of reports before the Provincial Legislature;

(2) In exercising legislative powers under or by 100

virtue of this Proclamation, the Governor, acting in his discretion, shall prepare such Bills as he deems necessary and declare as respects any Bill so prepared either that he assents thereto in His Majestyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, or that he reserves it for the consideration of the Governor-General: and the reference in subsection (2) of Section 76 to the day on which a Bill was presented to the Governor shall be construed as a reference to the day on which a Bill was so reserved by him ; (3) Any expenditure from the revenues of the Province, whether expenditure charged by the Act on those revenues or not, and whether incurred before or after the making of his Proclamation, shall be deemed to have been duly authorized if it is included in an annual estimate of expenditure or a supplementary estimate of expenditure published in the official gazette of the Province ; (4) While this Proclamation is in force it shall, notwithstanding any thing in any rules made under the Act relating to elections, be unnecessary for an election to be held for the purpose of filling any casual vacancy in the Provincial Legislature ; (5) Any reference in the Act of Provincial Acts, Provincial laws, or Acts or ` of a Provincial Legislature shall be construed as including 101

a reference to Acts made under or by virtue of this Proclamation, and the Punjab General Clauses Act, 1898, and so much of the General Clauses Act, 1897, as applies to Provincial laws, shall have effect in relation to any such Act as if it were an Act of the Provincial Legislature.

Since the partition of the sub-continent had been decided, therefore, in pursuance of paragraph 6 of the Statement of His Majestyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Government dated June 3, 1947, special meetings of the Western Section of the Assembly (presided over by the Speaker Diwan Bahadur S.P.Singha) and that of the Eastern Section (presided over by the Deputy Speaker Sardar Kapur Singh) were held on June 23, 1947. The agenda for these meetings was to decide whether or not the Province of the Punjab be partitioned. After voting on both sides, partition was decided1. Consequently, the existing Punjab Legislative Assembly was also divided into West Punjab Legislative Assembly and the East Punjab Legislative Assembly. The sitting members belonging to the Western Section subsequently became the members of the new Assembly renamed as the West Punjab Legislative Assembly. This last Assembly before independence, held its last sitting on July 4, 1947. It stayed for about one year and four months and held 13 sittings during this period.

Till such time the constituent Assembly promulgated a constitution for the country, the Government of India Act 1935, mutatis mutandis, was adopted as the provisional constitution under the Pakistan (Provisional Constitution) Order 19471. As a result of the voting in the Punjab Legislative Assembly 1946 held on June 23, 1947, the Assembly stood divided into West Punjab Legislative Assembly and the East Punjab Legislative Assembly. All sitting members of the Punjab Legislative Assembly 1946, elected from constituencies included in the Province of West Punjab (their number being 91), were declared to have been elected to the renamed West Punjab Legislative Assembly with effect from August 15, 19472. The first sitting was held on January 5, 1948.

The second session, which was also the last session of the Assembly, was held from March 15, 1948 to April 9, 1948.

Chapter 3

Provincial Assembly of West Pakistan

Interim, 1956, 1962, 1965

147

Interim Provincial Assembly of West Pakistan reconstituted as

Provincial Assembly of West Pakistan 1956 May 19, 1956 to October 7, 1958

Under the Establishment of West Pakistan Act, 19551, the territories of the Governorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Provinces of the Punjab, the North-West Frontier and Sind; the Chief Commissionerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Province of Baluchistan and the capital of the Federation; the states of Bahawalpur and Khairpur, and Baluchistan States Union; and the Tribal Areas of Baluchistan, the Punjab and the North-West Frontier, and the states of Amb, Chitral, Dir and Swat were incorporated into a single Province namely Province of West Pakistan2.

Section 11, read with the Second Schedule of the said Act, envisaged that until a Provincial Legislature was constituted for the West Pakistan, an interim Provincial Legislature would be constituted comprising the Governor of the West Pakistan and a Legislative Assembly composed of 310 members (10 general seats, 290 seats for Muslims and 10 seats reserved for women). 1

PLD 1955, Central Statutes, page 277 & The West Pakistan Constitutional Manual, Vol-I, pages 224-248. Section 2 of the Establishment of West Pakistan Act, 1955.

149

It was also provided in the said Act that this interim Legislature, unless dissolved earlier, would stand dissolved on expiration of eighteen months from the date of commencement of the said Act. The election to the interim Legislature was to be held on a day fixed by the Governor General. It was also provided that the first meeting of the interim Legislature would be held within sixty days of completion of election.

The election of the interim Legislature was held on January 19, 1956 and the results of the election were notified on January 29, 19561. However, before this interim Assembly could hold its first sitting, the first Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan was enacted on February 29, 1956 and came into force with effect from March 23, 1956. Article 76 of this Constitution contained provision for the constitution of a Provincial Legislature for West Pakistan comprising 300 members.

In order to give constitutional cover to the prevailing political scenario, the 1956 Constitution contained temporary and transitional provisions in Part XIII. According to Article 225 of the 1956 Constitution, until a Provincial Assembly for the Province of West Pakistan had been duly constituted, the already elected interim Assembly had to exercise the

powers and perform the duties of Provincial Assembly of West Pakistan. Accordingly, the interim Assembly was declared as West Pakistan Legislative Assembly, with effect from March 23, 1956, the date on which the Constitution came into force. It held its first sitting on May 19, 1956 (presided over by Mirza Mumtaz Hassan Qizalbash, a member of the Assembly1 ) and its last session was held from August 25 to August 28, 1958. This Assembly had held 80 sittings over 6 sessions when under the proclamation of Martial Law on October 7, 1958, it was dissolved and the 1956 Constitution was abrogated. It is pertinent to mention here that no elections under the 1956 Constitution could be held. This Assembly passed 75 Acts during its life of 2 years 4 months and 19 days.

It is worth-mentioning that Chaudhri Fazl-e-Elahi was elected as Speaker of this Assembly through a casting vote of the Presiding Officer, Mirza Mumtaz Hassan Qizalbash2.

Provincial Assembly of West Pakistan 1962 June 9, 1962 to June 8, 1965

After imposition of Martial Law in 1958, General Muhammad Ayub Khan introduced the concept of basic democracy through the Basic Democracy Order, 1959. The first BD elections to elect forty thousand representatives each from the East Pakistan and the West Pakistan, were held in December 1959. An Advisory Council was constituted instead of a legislature (for details, see Part 3 of this book). On February 14, 1960, these BD members authorized General Muhammad Ayub Khan to promulgate a Constitution who promulgated it on March 1, 1962 and it came into force on June 8, 1962. Article 70 of the 1962 Constitution provided that there would be a provincial legislature comprising of 155 members for a term of five years. Article 230, however, envisaged that the term of first legislature would be three years. The BD members served as electoral college for the election of the President and National and Provincial Assemblies. The Provincial Assembly of West Pakistan comprising 155 Members was elected by the BD Members. It held its first sitting on June 9, 1962 which was presided over by Justice Masood Ahmad, Member, Election Commission1. This Assembly ceased to exist on June 8, 1965 on the completion of three yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; term. It held 216 sittings over 7 sessions with the last session held from December 21, 1964 to January 31, 1965.

Provincial Assembly of the Punjab 1985 March 12, 1985 to May 30, 1988

During the period from 1977 to 1985, the Constitution of Pakistan was kept in abeyance and the political institutions remained inactive due to imposition of Martial Law. Two advisory councils, however, were constituted during this period as Provincial Council of the Punjab in 1980 and 1983 (for details, see Part 3 of this book). In order to restore political process in the country, the general elections, on the basis of non-party and separate electorate, were held on February 25, 1985 for the National Assembly and on February 28, 1985 for the Provincial Assemblies. The membership of Provincial Assembly of the Punjab was 260 (240 general seats, 8 seats reserved for minorities and 12 seats reserved for women). After having been substantially amended by the Chief Martial Law Administrator and the then President of Pakistan, the 1973 Constitution was partially reactivated through the Revival of the Constitution of 1973 Order, 1985 (P.O. 14 of 1985) w.e.f. March 10, 1985. With the lifting of Martial Law on December 30, 1985, the Constitution was wholly restored1.

The Proclamation of Withdrawal of Martial Law dated December 30, 1985 published the same day in the Gazette of Pakistan (Extraordinary), pages 431-32. See also PLD 1986, Central Statutes, page 13).

243

This Assembly held its first sitting on March 12, 19851 which was presided over by Ch Faiz Ahmed, a member of the Assembly. Though the Assembly was elected for a term of five years, but it stayed only for 3 years 2 months and 19 days; when the Governor dissolved it on May 30, 19882 following the dissolution of National Assembly by the then President General Zia-ul-Haq on account of prevailing political disturbance in the country. Its last session was held from January 14, 1988 to February 14, 1988. It met for 160 sittings over 12 sessions and had passed 26 Acts before its dissolution. The Golden Jubilee of the Punjab Assembly, celebrated from February 1 to February 3, 1988, was a landmark in the history of the Punjab Assembly3.
