Re: Hindu judge made Pakistan's new acting chief justice

thats very interesting .its the same judge who presided over the inquiry of the handling of the sales of steel mills in pakistan and foud that there were some discrepancies.I don't how a Hindu judge would interpret the hadood ordinance and other islamic laws prevalent in the country which can be against his individual beliefs.

Re: Hindu judge made Pakistan's new acting chief justice

^ Yes good point, but he would be qualified and well versed to make a decision without bias, thats part of his job and he should be able to handle that, even if it means going against some of his individual belifs.
