@hanibal

Please suggest how judiciary should show the constraint?

They issue verdict and govt goes in opposite direction, they declare MQM+ANP+AMAN COMMITTEE responsible for mass murders in Karachi and advice govt to file reference against the murderers next thing govt do is embrace them as ally… Judiciary ask them to bring Mushy back for Akbar Bugti case, govt simply ignores it, Judiciary orders govt to takeover the Shahzad Farm property of Mushy, Govt facilitate the X-Dictator to transfer the ownership of the property… Judiciary ask govt to investigate the NICL scam, govt reply with embracing the Q-League and then creating hurdle in the investigation… and list is loooooooooooooooooooooooooong… now please tell us, what else judiciary should do, after being called names, after being called conspirator and everything else??? i would love to know what should they do, wait for govt to end their tenure? and then what, the new govt will copy the same???

I said in another thread that I would (reluctantly) support judiciary dismissing a corrupt and incompetent elected government but only if it (SC) acted with complete impartiality - I consider it an undesirable but (still) lawful and sometimes necessary step (cf. talaq) and **still much better than the alternative **(a military take over, because when these guys seize power they don’t just come in for a few months, they stay in power for a decade or more each time!! - but that even did not happen in 1993. NS was removed by the then judiciary (under pressure from the army) which I cannot support

The SC has every right to hold the government accountable but they should not be seen to be imparting selective justice (under pressure from others). NRO cases should be revisited but so should corruption cases against others incl. NS and the legendary loan defaulters the Chaudhries

And as already highlighted by Decent, Shamraz etc.

@Shamraz_Khan

Thanks yazdi. Btw, if the CJ has no grudge against Zardari than why isn’t he pursing more important cases? You know, like missing persons’ case that made him famous? Or how about NS’s family paying 5000 rupees in taxes when they control one of the largest business empire in the country? Or how about intelligence agencies abducting and (in may cases) killing citizens?
