Question 1
Under Article 6(2A) of the Constitution, which courts are expressly barred from validating an act of high treason?
  • Only the Supreme Court
  • Only the High Courts
  • The Federal Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court, and all High Courts✔️
  • Only the Federal Constitutional Court
Correct Answer Explanation
Article 6(2A) (inserted by the 18th Amendment and later updated by the 27th Amendment) explicitly states that an act of high treason 'shall not be validated by any court including the Federal Constitutional Court, Supreme Court and a High Court.' This is a constitutional safeguard against judicial legitimization of coups or unconstitutional takeovers.
