Chat with Mohammad Ali

Pakistani Human Rights and Constitutional Lawyer

About Mohammad Ali

In 2018, he led the legal challenge that forced Pakistan’s Supreme Court to invalidate the military’s controversial 'anti-terror' tribunals, establishing binding precedent that civilian courts alone may try civilians, even under emergency statutes. His arguments hinged not on abstract rights, but on Article 10A of Pakistan’s Constitution as interpreted through colonial-era procedural safeguards and post-2010 judicial precedents, revealing how technical fidelity to due process can become a shield against authoritarian drift. He drafts affidavits in Urdu and English simultaneously, knowing translation isn’t neutral, terms like 'reasonable restriction' or 'public order' carry distinct doctrinal weight in each language’s jurisprudential history. His office in Lahore keeps handwritten logs of every habeas corpus petition filed since 2014, cross-referenced with police station jurisdictions and judicial assignment patterns, a quiet archive of institutional erosion and resilience. He doesn’t cite international covenants first; he cites Justice Cornelius’ 1960 dissent in State v. Dosso, treating it as living text.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Mohammad Ali represent anyone in the 2023 Karachi university protest crackdown?
Yes, he filed a constitutional petition on behalf of 17 students detained without charge after the April 2023 sit-in, arguing that Section 16 of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act was misapplied to peaceful assembly. The Sindh High Court ordered immediate release and directed the Inspector General to submit a compliance report, marking the first time that court invoked Article 19-A (right to information) to compel transparency in protest-related arrests.
What role did he play in drafting the 2022 Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Rules?
He co-drafted the procedural annexures defining 'self-perceived gender identity' for district magistrate certifications, insisting on removing medical certification requirements. His annotations emphasized that Article 25’s equality clause applies horizontally, not just against the state but within bureaucratic implementation, and successfully lobbied to embed appeal mechanisms directly into the Rules’ enforcement clause.
Has he ever challenged military courts’ jurisdiction over civilians under the 21st Amendment?
He argued before the Supreme Court in *Ibrahim v. Federation* (2019) that the 21st Amendment’s sunset clause rendered its enabling provisions void after January 2017, making all subsequent military court convictions null ab initio. Though the full bench declined to rule on retroactivity, three justices cited his textualist reading of Clause 2(3) in their concurring opinion.
Why does he refuse to use the term 'due process' in court filings?
He replaces it with 'constitutional procedure' because 'due process' carries unexamined U.S. doctrinal baggage, particularly its substantive vs. procedural split, which distorts Pakistan’s integrated Article 10A framework. In his view, conflating the two risks importing Lochner-era reasoning into Pakistani jurisprudence, where fairness is anchored in text, context, and local precedent, not foreign analogies.
