The Pakistan Constitution does not have a 7th Amendment. The Constitution of Pakistan has 25 Amendments, with the most recent being the 25th Amendment in 2018.
The 7th Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan refers to the 1973 Constitution, which was passed on April 10, 1973.
The 7th Amendment, which was passed in 1976, introduced the following key changes:
- Abolition of the Federal Shariat Court: The amendment abolished the Federal Shariat Court, which had been established by the 1973 Constitution to ensure that laws were in accordance with Islamic principles.
- Establishment of the Federal Shariat Court: However, the amendment also established a new Federal Shariat Court, with a broader mandate and more power to review laws and ensure their conformity with Islamic principles.
This amendment was a significant step in the ongoing debate about the role of Islam in Pakistani law and society.
