As for your question....how can the judges who have taken a sommersault from their original position....and negotiated their reappointment with the executive authority be independent and principled....they owe their reappointment to these compromised negotiations....they will always be obliged to executive who selected them for reappointment...This is exactly what I have tried to highlight from the article...The judges are not being restored....they are selectively being reappointed as a result of a compromised negotiation with the executive....
Sorry yaar, but Pakistan never had independent judiciary & it never will. Its not in interested of ruling class to have pesky judges looking over their shoulders. As for their reappointment, that shows how far their (judges) principles go, and let me also tell you that they would've never stood up to the dictator had it not been for the public & lawyers' community.

As far as Dogar/PCO judges/reappointed judges are concerned....there will be a very strong case against them for misconduct....as they are abrogating Pakistan constitution and are showing their loyalty to the executive instead of constitution....on which they originally took oath....and will also face charges according to article 6 for conspiring against the constitution....once independent judiciary is reinstated....

None of these judges who took oaths on PCO1 & PCO 2 are saints. They're all-all the same & its goes for Iftikhar Chaudhary, too. What is wrong is wrong no matter how u look at it.
BTW, I think if he is really standing up for principles than he owes nation explication for his first PCO oath. Also, if he really believes in his mission he should resigned & leaver as statesman, and not become an obstacle in new democratic system & let it run its course.
