Inserted by the Police Order (Amendment) Ordinance, 2009.The Amendment Ordinance <strong>of</strong> 2004 was re-promulgated innumerable times. However, it was never passed by theParliament. It was promulgated as the Police Order (Amendment) Ordinance, 2007, by the Musharraf-led governmentin July 2007 and was given protection under the Provisional Constitution Order, 2007. It lost its validity after theSupreme Court in its famous judgment <strong>of</strong> 31 July 2009, directed all the ordinances protected under the Provisional(Constitution) Order, 2007, to be laid before the Parliament for consideration. The ordinance was laid before theNational Assembly as a bill in November, 2009; however, it never passed through the stage <strong>of</strong> consideration by theNational Assembly’s Committee on the Interior. This has created a serious legal confusion and vacuum. Though theOrdinance was repromulgated in November, 2009 by the President <strong>of</strong> <strong>Pakistan</strong> as the Police Order (Amendment)Ordinance, 2009 (XLIV <strong>of</strong> 2009) which lapsed in late March 2010, whereafter it has not been repromulgated.
