Justice Saeed-uz-Zamaan Siddiqui (SS):

I was born in 1937 in Calcutta in UP-state of India. In 1942, during World War when Calcutta was bombed we migrated to Lucknow. From 1942-1949, I received my school education in Lucknow. In 1949 we migrated to Dhaka; I completed my school education there and my college education partly. In 1956, I migrated from Dhaka to Karachi. I joined Islamia College, and obtained my BA degree in economics from Karachi University. I joined SM Law College and got my law degree. I was enrolled as advocate of the High court of Sindh, the then High Court of West Pakistan, in 1963. In Supreme Court I was enrolled in 1969. I was elevated to the bench of the High Court in March, 1980. I became the Chief justice of Sindh High Court in 1990. Afterward, I was elevated to the Supreme Court of Pakistan in May, 1992. I became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court on July 1st, 1999. But on account of the military take-over, I didn’t take oath and came back to Karachi.

    I reject this man for the dubious role he played in the conspiracy against the then chief justice of Pakistan Syed Sajjad Ali Shah. He lost his crediablity at that point in time. He is just at rotten as his mentors. He should be discarded to the dustbin of history where he belongs.

    You are just opposing him for nothing, If i take your words as correct about SS then what about Musharraf who was involved in conspiracy against 60 judges and threw them out to save himself. What is now Zardari doing now in case of judges?

    Come on
