T. Khan (1889 - 19 August 1963),[1] was President (speaker) of Pakistan's Constituent Assembly from 1948 to 1954 and National Assembly of Pakistan between 1962 and 1963.[2]Tamizuddin created history when the Constituent Assembly was dismissed by Governor General Ghulam Mohammad in 1954. Tamizuddin challenged the dismissal in the court and the case was filed in the morning of 7 November 1954, by Advocate Manzar-e-Alam.[3] Although the High Court agreed and overturned it, the Federal Court under Justice Muhammad Munir upheld the dismissal. He had been president of the Basic Principles Committee set up in 1949."Justice A. R. Cornelius was the sole dissenting judge in the landmark judgment handed down by the Supreme Court in the Maulvi Tamizuddin case. That judgment altered the course of politics in Pakistan forever and sealed the fate of democracy. The law had guided him as he had interpreted it and his conscience.".[4]The decision to uphold the dismissal of the constituent assembly was to mark the beginning of the overt role of Pakistan's military and civil establishment in Pakistani politics.See also Doctrine of necessity Constitutional CoupReferenceshttp://banglapedia.search.com.bd/HT/K_0198.htmPresidents/Speakers of Pakistan Retrieved on 04 August 2013.The Test of Time: My Life and Days by Maulvi Tamizuddin Khan, Chapter Six http://www.tamizuddinkhan.info/publication_chapter6.html For the Love of Cricket' by Omar Kureishi http://www.dawn.com/weekly/dmag/archive/040718/dmag18.htmExternal links History of National Assembly Banglapedia: A profile of Tamizuddin KhanPolitical officesPreceded byMuhammad Ali Jinnah Speaker of the National Assembly19481955 Succeeded byAbdul Wahab KhanPreceded byAbdul Wahab Khan Speaker of the National Assembly19621963 Succeeded byFazlul Qadir Chaudhry[show] v t e Speaker of the National Assembly of PakistanStub icon This article about a Pakistani politician is a stub.
