Re: Justice Javed Iqbal abandons ex-CJ Iftikhar - accepts new job from Musharraf
Well he is the 6th former Supreme Court Judge to abandon the pleas of his former boss Iftikhar and align himself to the govt side. The other 5 judges have sworn an oath on the PCO, and got their old jobs back.
Oh, and 40 other judges of the Punjab, Sindh, NWFP and Balochistan High Courts have also sworn ao oath on the PCO and safeguarded their jobs as well. So Javed Iqbal is in pretty big company now.
Re: Justice Javed Iqbal abandons ex-CJ Iftikhar - accepts new job from Musharraf
Oh, and Justice Iqbal was one of the 7 judges who set aside the Proclomation of Emergency. It didn't take him to long to change his mind, and accept a cushy job from the Chief of Army Staff. :D
Re: Justice Javed Iqbal abandons ex-CJ Iftikhar - accepts new job from Musharraf
Who knows what pressure was put on the judge. When you and your family is threatened by govt and we have seen their brutality on the streets of Pakistan anything is possible. If it is as good as the picture being painted here lift the emergency and face the public.

are you 100% sure that its “almost 50%”? you have flip flopped in other thread about numbers. Besides, the “shame” could lie in the difference between the PCOs… for lamers they are all just “PCO”.

zameer apna apna!
Two chairs are most dangerous and accountable at the day of judgement.
Ruler and the justice. We don't need to wait for national archives to unveil things after 25/50 years. Everything is visible, even a blind man can tell where the Mush/Q-League slipped into the ditch, working on disintegration of the country. If we are the nation to learn from our mistakes, do check files from 60s how the fall of Dhaaka was planned by big powers and how millitary and beaureucracy acted on the script.
The crises and conspiracy is beyond the shortsighted followers of the typical mob civil/military that always remain in power no matter what. Check PTV and its 'sub acha hai' attitude, it was same in 71, 77, 99 and today.

Re: Justice Javed Iqbal abandons ex-CJ Iftikhar - accepts new job from Musharraf
There are reports that another former Supreme Court judge (who retired years ago) - Justice (rtd) Ijaz Nisar is being made the Caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab.
I am sure jobs can be found for other judges as well, even Ifti. :D
