    ISLAMABAD, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- The eight-member full court of the Supreme Court (SC) Tuesday declared a seven-judge decision against the declaration of emergency as null and void, according to local press reports.
    The full court ruled that the decision was null and void as it was taken after the declaration of emergency but those made the decision were no longer judges with the declaration of emergency.
    It was binding for the said seven judges to take oath under the Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO) to continue as the judges of the Supreme Court but they did not, and ceased as judges, the ruling said.
    The petition against the decision of the former judges of the Supreme Court was filed by Attorney General Justice (Retd) Malik Abdul Qayyum.
