Judgment text as reported

AMIR AKBER KHAN VS NATIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY BUREAU Duty of Court---Principle---If a statute has expressly provided for something without any ambiguity and is being applied accordingly, there would hardly be any question of interpreting the same by the courts---Role of the Judiciary of interpretation of a statute or any provision thereof arises only when it is to a certain extent either unclear or vague or uncertain or is prima facie opposed to the Constitution---Effect has to be given to the intent of framers of law and of people adopting it---To interpret what does not need to be interpreted is not permissible---When it is found that background of a certain provision is such that intended meaning is different than words of a provision seem to convey, the courts intervene and interpret the same as per intent of the Legislature---Courts have absolutely no authority or power to substitute their views for those intended by the Legislature on any ground which may include their reservation about a particular law.
