Army Takeover Feared as Pakistan Leader Acts to Bolster Power
By JOHN F. BURNS
Published: November 2, 1997
Nine months after the election in which Nawaz Sharif won a landslide victory and became Prime Minister again, his bruising drive to entrench his authority has raised fears that Pakistan could be headed for another cycle of upheaval.
Since he regained the office from which he was ousted by presidential decree in 1993, Mr. Sharif, 47, has sought to insure that he cannot be unseated again before completing a full five-year term. To that end, he has set out to curb the powers of the President, army commander, Parliament and judiciary.
On Friday, with newspapers warning that he was risking a new takeover by the armed forces, which have ruled Pakistan directly or indirectly for nearly 30 of its 50 years as a nation, Mr. Sharif staged a last-minute retreat from the latest in a series of power struggles. This time, the dispute was over the appointment of five new Supreme Court justices Mr. Sharif had wanted to block.
**Mr. Sharif maintained that the 12-member Supreme Court had no need for the extra judges, but his critics say that he viewed several of the nominees as potential adversaries who might vote against him if old corruption accusations resulted in attempts to remove him from office. **
According to accounts circulating in Islamabad, Mr. Sharif agreed to the judges’ appointments only after the army commander, Gen. Jehangir Karamat, told him that he would not tolerate a constitutional crisis.
Although the military leadership issued a statement saying that it was acting ‘‘without being partisan in any way,’’ General Karamat’s role in the dispute was seen by many as a reminder that the army remains the final arbiter of power here.
But many newspapers today carried warnings that Mr. Sharif, who earned a reputation for being impulsive in his first term as Prime Minister, might return to the offensive.
In that case, the newspapers said, Pakistan should brace itself for the possibility of a new period of army rule. The army, long restive in the face of economic mismanagement and corruption by civilian leaders, might just run out of patience.
‘‘Is martial law in the offing?’’ asked the headline on an editorial in the Pakistan Times on Friday, hours before Mr. Sharif backed down. A similarly gloomy editorial in The Nation, another English-language newspaper widely read by the country’s political establishment, concluded that the time for civilian rule might be running out.
‘‘The situation resembles nothing so much as a Greek tragedy, in which the protagonists fail to draw any lessons until after their mutual destruction,’’ it said.
In a speech to Parliament on Friday, Mr. Sharif depicted his efforts to bolster his power as essential to tackling the ‘‘corruption and economic ruin’’ that he said he had inherited from Benazir Bhutto’s Government, which President Farooq Leghari ousted in November 1996 after accusing it of misrule.
In the election that followed, Mr. Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League and its allies won more than 150 of the 204 parliamentary seats, against only 18 seats for Ms. Bhutto’s Pakistan People’s Party.
Despite the scale of the victory, Mr. Sharif said that there had been ‘‘intrigues against the new Government,’’ which he did not detail, and that these had necessitated the steps to bolster its authority.
Otherwise, he said, Pakistanis would have to accept that ''whenever someone is about to rescue them from the clutches of poverty and misery, there will be a counterwave to push them back into the same bottomless pit.

Protest Disrupts Contempt Case Against Pakistan Premier
By RAYMOND BONNER
Published: November 29, 1997
Supporters of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif climbed over iron gates today and stormed the Supreme Court building, forcing the court to suspend contempt proceedings against the Prime Minister.
The melee deepened this country’s political crisis, which began earlier this month when Mr. Sharif criticized the high court, which is a crime in this country. If found guilty of contempt, Mr. Sharif can be removed from office.
The Prime Minister has been battling the Supreme Court for months, since the justices reinstated a corruption inquiry against him and blocked a constitutional amendment aimed at strengthening his powers.
The corruption investigation is moving through the Pakistani judiciary and is expected to eventually reach the Supreme Court. This would be a serious matter for Mr. Sharif: the possible penalties include imprisonment or exclusion from politics for seven years.
**Today, 200 riot police in flak jackets and armed with long sticks stood by as protesters swarmed into the court building, adding to the feeling here that the Government had organized the demonstration. **
**That led the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Sajjad Ali Shah, to ask the President to send soldiers or paramilitary forces to protect the court and justices.
‘‘Hardly any trust can be reposed in the forces which are under the administrative control of the Government,’’ **Mr. Shah wrote in a letter to the President, Farooq Leghari.
Reports from the scene suggested that the protesters belonged mostly to Mr. Sharif’s political party, the Pakistan Muslim League.
The atmosphere of tumult and political crisis has worried investors here, fueling a fall in stock prices. Hoping to reassure domestic and foreign investors, Mr. Sharif said in an address on Thursday evening that the ‘‘crisis situation’’ would be over soon.
Others are not so sure, and newspapers were blistering in their condemnation of the politicians.
‘‘It is difficult for a common man to understand the state of affairs prevailing in the country fast heading towards chaos and anarchy,’’ The Pakistan Observer, an English-language daily, said today on its front page. It carried 11 stories about the crisis.
The struggle pits the Prime Minister against the President, the Prime Minister against the Chief Justice, and supreme court justices against each other.
Among the issues are a law that would strip the President of his constitutional powers, and another that would effectively bar a member of Parliament from switching political parties.
After the President signed the latter law, the Supreme Court stayed its implementation. That brought blasts from the Prime Minister, which led to the contempt charges.
Prime Minister Sharif’s party, which holds an overwhelming majority in the assembly, then pushed through a law that would retroactively grant immunity from contempt charges to members of Parliament.
When the President refused to sign the law, the Parliament threatened to impeach him.
In the midst of all this, the Prime Minister and the Chief Justice got into a feud over who has the right to fill five vacancies on the court, which has 17 judges. The Chief Justice prevailed, and quickly reinstated corruption charges against the Prime Minister.
Each of Pakistan’s four provinces has a supreme court bench, and today in Peshawar, two justices ordered that the Chief Justice be removed from office.
The full court in Peshawar is expected to take up that case on Monday.
Re: Nawaz’s resume
and speaking of issues between govt and judiciary on how to trest terrorists, looks like it was happening back then also 
In August, Mr. Sharif clashed with the Supreme Court when Parliament passed a law giving the police extraordinary powers to deal with suspected terrorists. The Chief Justice said the law violated basic liberties.
Re: Nawaz's resume
although from what I hear sadly, sajjad ali shah was not quiteclean himself and had tolerated Nawaz's crap until his own interests were on the line, something to do with qualifications etc.

Re: Nawaz’s resume
here is a good one. nawaz sharif’s family was taken to court in ldn while nawaz was the sitting pm of pakistan:
http://www.dawn.com/weekly/cowas/20010902.htm
…What happens elsewhere? Say, in London, under the British system of justice? Let’s take a case involving the Mians of Lahore - Shahbaz Sharif, Mohammad Sharif and Abbas Sharif - and the Hudaibiya Paper Mills Limited, who borrowed millions of dollars from Investment Funds Limited, a concern operated by Al-Tawfik Company, and in true Pakistani fashion did not repay it. Al-Tawfik went to court in London. On September 4, 1998, a master of the court, Master Rose, served an order on Hudaibiya and the Mians, who then filed an application before Justice Buckley of the Queen’s Bench Division of the High Court of Justice of England, seeking that the order and service of proceedings be set aside.
On February 5, 1999, the judge wrote a one-page order refusing the application. On March 16, 1999, the court delivered its judgement ordering the Mians to repay the loan. It was not repaid by November 5, 1999, on which date Master Trench by a one-page order had the London properties of the Mians attached. The Mians then decided to pay up and a ‘consent order’ was signed by the lawyers of the two parties on January 25, 2000. The entire matter was settled within 16 months.
