@Fraudz

the point is that Ifti can not have all his buddies and best pals on the council evaluating the charges against him. Now regardless of LHC judge and ifti not getting along personally, if he is a comptenet judge, then i dont see any issue with having him on the review council.

incidentally LHC’s CJ brother happens to be a cabinet minister. Now what was that tish tush in the code of conduct about not sitting in ur relatives’ cases:hmmm:

lets see..ah here it is:

@Fraudz

It does not matter what reservations ifti has against the LHC CJ. the question is, is the LHC CJ a competent person? is he actively under investigation for something? if not, then he is fit to serve in that council.

refer above

i think he is one of the members against whom references r pending along with justice dogar.

@Fraudz

and then the whole issue of respected ppl like Javed Iqbal

Debatable. Highly highly highly debatable. Justice Iqbal’s actions on 9th March and in subsequent days are questionable. I could give u several examples just off the top of my head but I am not going to go into that. Anyone who’s observed this whole from close counters will not agree with ur statement.

@Fraudz

not being able to be on the council because his removal will be in their interest, well of course his removal will be in the interest of all senior judges from a career perspective, so why single a few out and not others.

Dear sir…u r obviously oblivious of the facts.

Justice Bhagwandaas retires this December. So whichever way this case goes, he stands to gain/lose nothing. At the rate this enquiry is progressing, he’d probably retire b4 even an opinion is made.

On the other hand, if CJ loses this case..which isnt a case. actually…lets rephrase this..if the SJC gives an opinion against the CJ then Justice Iqbal becomes the new CJ and sees an extension of 4 years in his service. if CJ Iftikhar is exonerated, Justice Iqbal never becomes a CJ. He is 2 years older to CJP.

I am not going to say more on this matter.

@Fraudz

you may not feel that my point about references against other justices is not worth answering, but they are innocent until proven guilty right? so they should e able to review his case. As far as the point that they cant review the case against someone who would be reviewing references agsinst them, well any SCJ would be doing that if ifti is gone and bhagwandas takes over, he will have to review those references. and lastly the point which you are not getting is, that if these references are old and he has not taken any action on it, then it shows that he is either incompetent or insincere.

To be honest, I dont know when the references were received. And when CJP says he was reviewing them, I take his word for it. The law does not put a time bar on the CJP for reviewing references so I am not going to hang him for that. If u wish to however, then more power to you.

@Fraudz

He claimed he had full trust in justice bhagwandas, and now it appears he did not mean what he said.

yeah?
