Re: 38 Superior Judges take oath under PCO
Two more pre-3rd November High Court Judges have now taken an oath on the PCO + ex-Supreme Court Justice Javed Iqbal has taken up a new federal job offered to him by Musharraf.
So the new figures of Superior Judges taking the PCO (or taking up jobs oferred by Musharraf) are as follows:-
- ALL of the 5 judges of the Balochistan High Court = 100%.
- MAJORITY (9 of 13) of the Peshawar High Court judges = 69%.
- MAJORITY (19 of 31) of the Lahore High Court judges = 61%.
- 10 (out of 27) judges of the Sindh High Court = 37%.
- 6 (out of 17) judges of the Supreme Court of Pakistan = 35%

So now a clear majority i.e. 49 out of 93 (53%) Superior Judges have ignored the ex-CJ and sided with the Musharraf Government.
There goes the united stance of the judiciary.
