There is nothing to be ashamed of in the fact that all the present superior judges like the CJ Iftikhar, Bhagwandas, Ramday etc owe their very positions to swearing a new oath on General Musharraf’s direct Army-rule PCO in Jan 2000. Long live the Constitution of Pakistan :slight_smile: :jhanda:

Pak judges are above all defenders of their respective kursis.

Well about 45 other Supreme and High Court judges have been. They are only following the examples set by Ch. Iftikhar, Ramday and Bhagwandas who swore an oath on Musharraf's PCO of 2000. :)

Those that not will allow opportunities to others that want to form a healthy Judiciary rather than diluting it with the legislator or the executive.

The situation in 2000 was very different from today. Then people were either ambivalent or supported the coup. The target of coup then was the existing regime, NOW, the target is judiciary and media.

:rotfl: Excuses, excuses.

Same military ruler, same constitution suspended and same sort of PC0 in 2000 - as today in 2007.

Judges put under house arrest. Human rights activists detained, lawyers beaten up, tv channels taken off air, journalists beaten and harassed.

There are lot of differences but you can turn a blind eye to that.

Re: “I am not ashamed for taking oath under PCO” - Justice Ramday

Things were much freer in 2000 as they are today, yet still Ch.Iftikhar, Bhagwandas and Ramday etc willingly swore an oath on Musharraf’s PCO in 2000 ! Haha. :hehe:

This will teach the lawyers to stick with their remit and not meddle in the legislator or the executive.

CJ Iftikhar and other judges never in the history of Pakistan had so much freedom as they did. They tried to be clever and paid the price.

God Bless the Free Judiciary that will uphold the judicial process.
