Re: EMERGENCY IMPOSED IN PAKISTAN
It seems that anyone above Brigadier in army is now eligible to become judges. Government is waiting for judges to decline taking oath under PCO and thus replacing all judges :)
In 2000 only 4 of the 15 SC judges took the oath under the PCO. The positions of the other 11 were filled quite quickly (including one by a certain Ch.Iftikhar), and the Supreme Court went on functioning.
Like in 2000 4 judges have taken under the PCO today. I am sure the vacant positions left by the others will also be filled quite quickly, and the Supreme Court will carry on functioning.
I am sure the new judges will much more careful than the previous lot in not letting murderers and terrorists to be released, so that they can terrorise people across Pakistan.
