Re: New reference prepared against CJP
Haris bhai, that is the stance taken by Musharraf and his supporters since March 13 when he soiled the dignity of the high office by refusing to use the official car..when that didn’t sell with the public, the Mush govt. went into reverse gear and now wants us to believe that Justice Iftikhar had ruined the dignity of his office even before 9th March by keeping in touch with Intel. agencies. As Fakhruddin Ebrahim says “toh is mein nya kya hai bhai?”
Govt gathering information against four SC judges](The News International: Latest News Breaking, World, Entertainment, Royal News)
By Muhammad Saleh Zaafir
ISLAMABAD: The authorities are gathering “credible information” about certain actions considered contrary to the rules and regulations of, at least, four learned senior judges of the
Supreme Court.
Once the unimpeachable evidence is available with the authorities concerned, the process of tabulating the reference against the judges of the apex court would be initiated. Law Secretary Justice Mansoor Ahmad, who has reportedly choreographed the first reference against Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, has expressed ignorance about any fresh reference. “We are implementing the authority and once the matter is referred to us, we proceed accordingly,” he added.
Sources well-versed with the affairs of the senior legal fraternity and widely respected by the bar and bench told The News here on Sunday that the reaction about the first reference should not deter the authorities from filing yet another and some more references against the judges who are “not clean in their conduct”.
The sources indicated that one senior judge has also obtained a plot in a similar manner in which Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry got in Karachi. Interestingly, the judge belongs to Karachi. Yet another senior judge, who is extensively being discussed in media these days and fond of staying in the news, had recalled a case after promulgating his verdict on the instance of his son, who is also a practising lawyer. The judge in question also attended the party thrown by his son on winning the case that also involved some customs officials.
The two other senior judges who are from a backward province used to get petrol from pumps which do not sell petrol but have the reservoirs of diesel only. The judges got the payment reimbursed on that count.
The sources indicated that once the requisite evidence is gathered, the authorities concerned would be given a green signal for preparation of legal documents required for reference in accordance with the law against the judges. In normal course, such references are prepared by the Ministry of Law and Justice and are submitted to the chief executive (prime minister) who refers the same to the president for filing before the Super Judicial Council (SJC).
The sources in the Prime Minister House are also not aware of preparation of any such reference but they have confirmed that another reference against Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry would be filed in due course.
The News has gathered from credible sources that the fresh reference against the CJ would be filed next week and the possibility of filing yet another reference against him afterwards cannot be ruled out since the authorities concerned are of the view that the affidavits submitted in the full court do provide for constitution of more than one references against the CJ.
Meanwhile, Syed Sharifuddin Pirzada, the counsel for the president, in the reference against the CJ has expressed willingness to meet Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and play a conciliatory role in the matter since the learned head of the full court Justice Khalilur Rehman Ramday has asked Pirzada to come forward for such a role. Pirzada, who enjoys international stature as an expert on constitutional affairs, is reluctant to take any initiative but he is prepared to oblige the learned court’s observation provided the chief justice shows interest in it, sources close to Pirzada told The News Sunday.
