YOUR HONOR: You are dismissed!

"YOUR HONOR: You are dismissed!"


Dark clouds of judicial crisis have been looming over the
Pakistan Supreme Court for quite some time. Only now are we
beginning to realize the gravity of the situation.
Recent news flashes on the subject when put
together
depict harrassment of Supreme Court by State &
Government.


A little background:


Last Week:

- President Leghari issues notification reducing
number of SC judges from 17 to 12.


- Chief Justice SC invalidates the notification.


- Advocate General files petition seeking clarification
on cancellation of notification.


- Prime Minister Sharif states Parliament has mandate
to decide the issue of SC judges.


- With notification on hold, President moves two LHC
judges to Supreme Court.


What the heck is going on? Are the President and Prime Minister
exercising their muscle to turn the Supreme Court in their
favor?




Give us your opinion of the assault on the Supreme Court by the State.
