Re: Nawaz once again shows his true colours.
Saleem, bhool gaye itni jaldi, who was the CJ when great quiad-e-azam pervez musharraf declared the emergency. Whats this:
On July 20, 2007, Chaudhry was reinstated to his position as Chief Justice in a ruling by the thirteen-member bench of Pakistani Supreme Court which also quashed the misconduct reference filed against him by Musharraf.

You do not have to be so upset. If you do not know something, just read and learn. No one is born knowing everything, they learn and it is not bad or embarrassing if one reads and learns, rather those who do not want to read and learn, it is they who are embarrassing. :)
I am really surprised that after more than a year of all this mayhem, still people have not grasped the difference between SJC (Supreme Judicial Council) and SC (Supreme Court). At least you should have done some reading and then commented.
SJC is not court that they can throw away cases or even give verdicts on cases. They work as investigating body. They investigate allegations in reference against judges then they make reports of their investigation for President. It is President who decides what action to take from their investigation report. That is all they do. Only President can sack or appoint Judges (with recommendations of certain bodies).
As for SC, they should not interfere with SJC (as SJC is investigating body against them) as they should not interfere with constitution (as their job is only to interpret constitution and give verdict according to laws in constitution, not make laws).
But unfortunately in Pakistan, SC have done that several time, interfering with constitution, and if they do, since there is no where a person could challenge Supreme Court, they keep getting away with it (and whatever they do becomes legal). In 2002, full bench of SC even gave right to Musharraf to change constitution without even any need to get it approved from Parliament (one of the signatory of that decision is Iftikhar), and due to that given right, Musharraf did not only changed constitution in past but also on Nov 2007. If anyone wants to challenge that right of Musharraf, they have to go to Supreme Court but they could not as to reverse that right, a bigger bench of Supreme Court could do that (no chance for that), hence all actions by Musharraf becomes legal.
Similarly in July, SC stopped SJC to investigate Iftikhar and told Iftikhar that his suspension (until investigation completes) is over. It was like pinch of salt as no one can challenge decision of SC, so Iftikhar took charge of CJ post again.
Many do not realise that in 2004, 17th amendment was not for approval of constitutional changes introduced by Musharraf, as all his constitutional changes became part of constitution and legal due to Supreme Court giving constitutional changing right to Musharraf. What happened is that, 17th amendment came assuming that all constitutional change by Musharraf was part of constitution, and 17th amendment was amendment to constitutional changes that Musharraf introduced, not constitution itself.
Similarly, SC decision to stop SJC investigating Iftikhar became legal (well, as legal as whatever SC does), though after emergency, new Supreme Court came into being as constitution went in abeyance. So, new oath was need for judges under PCO (Provincial Constitutional Order), and thus all judges who did not took oath (or were not called to take oath) under PCO stopped being Judge. Anyone wants to challenge that, they have to go to Supreme Court.
