Are judges a political party. What a need to do this all. They could go to court in day on monday. There was no emergency declared. Ali Ahmed Kurd said that the seniority was preset issue. Notification is on the right way.
whatever the intentions of Govt were (which I am sure were not right), appointment of senior most judge should be the way to go. You (read CJ) cant pick and choose who to appoint to SC and who not to.
