Court Business Must Be Conducted in Courts Only

By A Khokar • Jun 11th, 2008 • Category: Politics • 5 Comments • Email This Post Email This Post

The deposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammed Choudhary was charge sheeted by the ‘out and gone’ Prime Minister Shukat Aziz on corruption charges. The said charge sheet was sent to Judicial Council for its inquiry and disposal by the President Musharraf in accordance with the rules.

Seriousness of business demands that with out any consideration of, whether who the person was; a case of corruption and misappropriation raised against the Chief Justice was a maculated stigma and a blemish on the character of Chief Justice of our country. Chief Justice is symbol of piety and absolute justice in any nation. It is a serious matter. If this chief justice is a real man of a stature; the philanthropy invested in such a high post demands that he should have acted on his own cognizance as a ‘Suo Motu’ and considered himself resigned by himself, till he was able to clear himself of charged allegations.

All else are merely the tales that under the present circumstances, he stands resigned and whether he should be reinstated or not (being later dismissed by the President). He should clear himself and judicial Council should show the people his clean slate before this that he is even considered for reinstatement. The dead dog from the polluted well must be taken out first.

Court business is conducted in Courts only. Staging of a protest or arranging a Long March [1] on any pretext by a bunch of lawyers out side of the courts, in order to pressurise and influence the Parliament to give a favourable verdict is sure absurdity because; Munsib ka Mut-manni khain hota hey! If at all there is a need to do some March; that is an inward cleansing March; a March toward lower and High courts system; where Justice is a far cry and common man experience; corruption, corruption and corruption of Judges only. [1] Long March; it is more of a Leisure Ride.

  1. “Justice is a far cry and common man experience; corruption, corruption and corruption of Judges only. [1] Long March; it is more of a Leisure Ride.”

  2. This is probably be the best post I have seen in a long time! This is very much true…as is popularly said it is cheaper to buy a judge than to hire a lawyer!

    I think this lawyers march is just rubbish and nothing but politically driven in the name of lawyers! If he had enough courage he could have proved himself innocent! And I won’t be surprised if the deposed CJ would actually be the real culprit! No one in the medi has yet brought up the issue of corruption within the judiciary!!

    The CJ has been deposed since one year but what about all the number of years before that? Where was the judiciary then? Not many people got any ‘insaaf’ from the lawyers and the courts did they?

  3. After having taken oath twice under the PCO; if Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Choudhary can claim that he or other (so called non PCO) retired Judges, now stands ‘pious and holy’ that they refused to take the third time oath under last PCO; then this piety and holiness could also be extended and granted to one who had since abundant the notions to stay in dictatorial power or impose any more PCOs. The real credit must goes to:-

    • One who announced the amnesty even to the plunderers and looters of this nation through a ‘National Reconciliation Order’ so that they can come over and form new government.

    • One who held the most transparent elections in the history of Pakistan and country could embrace a true democracy.

    • One who facilitated the transfer of power to new government with out any hesitation.

    • One who is ready to walk away that he is, since relinquished of all the powers and has handed over to the new Parliament.

    * One who has announced that he will abide by any verdict passed and given by the new Parliament.

    Although President Pervez Musharraf still holds the extra ordinary power of clause 58(2)B, that most of the parties are weary about but this may not be logical to think that he will take some untoward action to break his dream land or see his country perishing?

  4. No, Musharraf is a real patriot like most ordinary Pakistanis.

    He is not like PML-nawaz groups leader who asked for amnesty to run for his life.

    Musharraf has announced without any vagueness that he will live and is prepared to die in Pakistan.

    That he doesn’t own, needs or wishes to have a house anywhere outside Pakistan. Jazaak Allah! Can these thugs say this with a clear conscience?

  5. Aftab S. Alam,

    Those will be the happiest days of our lives in Pakistan; when people will start seeing and appreciating things in their right prospective; other wise;

    Habib jalib says;
    Kaatal kahan badaltay hain; Faqat chehray badaltay hain
    Ajab hey apna saffer keh faslay bhi saath chaltay hain

    *My killers they do not change; only they change their flags and faces.
    *What a strenuous journey of mine; even the miles stones of my trekked journey; they also travel with me.
