  1. When the president is installed who was in jail for 10 years on corruption charges ..waht else left?

  2. That is exactly what is needed of you my lord. Sort out the lower judiciary instead of what you have been and are still upto. IIf there is corruption in the lower judiciary, YOU sir are answerable. Its under your watch.

  3. Just yesterday CJ remarked that the President House should not be use for any political activity, hence CJ once again forgot that SC should also not be used for any political purposes but the fact of the matter is all the SC benches and judges are taking up political motivated cases and giving everyday and night political statements – Contradiction is the name of this game being played by Chief Justice & Co.

  4. The honorable CJ should strive to eradicate corruption from highest judiciary before raising rhetorics for lower judiciary. To be more precise eradicate it from your very home first

  5. no person is perfect in this world now.the post of judges is like God to decide the matter
    in our country the agent(judge) who acts like God is corrupt then what you expect from other people.the chief justice just speaks about this but cant do anything.because he needs proof to take action but have no criterea to detect the corruption in judges.so i am going to help him in this regard as any illegal order passed by incompetent and corrupt
    judges means he has got some benefit for writing an illegal order. i have other clues for chief justice if he wants to proceed against corrupt judges if he is not willing then
    then all you people should know that who is coruupt.
