During a hearing in the Supreme Court (SC) of petitions regarding voter lists on Tuesday, Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry said that he could have raised an objection on the oath administered to President Asif Ali Zardari by Abdul Hameed Dogar but did not do so in order to avoid disharmony in the country.
Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry said that the time had come when solutions would have to be created regardless of their possible consequences, adding that the judiciary would not follow the ‘doctrine of necessity’.
The chief justice said the salaries and perks given to nominated members were unconstitutional without the proper formation of an election commission.
The hearing was subsequently adjourned to January 12.
Sir i agree there will be no"doctrine of necessity" buy a new'"doctrine of convenience" will be presented to you. The present govt seems to play a game of musical chairs with the judiciary. Justice is not only denied but also not delivered! The judges escape the country in fear of their life under the pretext of going to haj. Of course they are given prolonged leave of absence.Need example? Youe road map to justice is riddled with insurmontable obstacles. You are a beacon of hope but we are becoming frustrated. The lawyers distinguish themselves by showering petals at the murderer, The interior minister comes out to encourage such acts by saying 'i will kill the blashfemer myself. To my novice mind it seems anarchy. God save Pakistan
