Justice should be done but only under due process, with balance and equity
“The avaricious are complainants and judges too. Who to appoint counsel, whom to seek justice from?” asked our great poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz at another time, when he too was incarcerated for ‘treason’.
Banay hain ahle hawas muda’ee bhi munsif bhi
Kissay vakil keratin, kis say munsafi chahain?
Good that Faiz Sahib wasn’t also imprisoned for terrorism. Though those too were bad times but not as bad as today. Then Pakistanis had hope; today they are hopeless. Our systems are hurtling towards their natural metamorphosis. Better this way than by force for then they become martyrs and return as zombies to haunt us.
Last week Gen Musharraf appeared before a high court for placing certain judges under house arrest, which is a bailable offence. But the judge attached a terrorism charge to it, denied him bail and ordered police to arrest him. Many lawyers say that he cannot and it was another case of overstepping. Once denied bail it is up to the interior ministry to order police to arrest the accused. The police did not. Musharraf is hardly going to go looking for the police to arrest him.
Since the police didn’t arrest Musharraf, he went home. His security whisked him away because the anti-Musharraf lawyers there were in such a black mood that they feared they might attack him. It is security’s job not to be too careful and take things for granted. But a clearly partisan media that Musharraf the ‘dictator’ made independent of the state but not of the Big Business-Big Politics Combine started the ridiculous rumour that he had scampered. A paper we know well, otherwise fairly balanced called him a ‘runaway’ general. Why would Musharraf voluntarily return to face the music only to scamper? Why without getting the US-UK combine to get cases against him withdrawn or the Saudis to get him a pardon and whisk him away to one of those carbuncles they call ‘palaces’? He came knowing the knives were naked, the cases against him alive and the terrorists ready. The next day this same paper’s headline screamed: “The general submits to justice.” Musharraf returned voluntarily and embraced justice. I find it comical that he has been placed on the Exit Control List whereas he should have been placed on the Entry Control List and saved our powers a lot of confusion.
It was also comical that while Gen Musharraf was in the anti-terrorism court the real terrorists dressed like Dracula were beating up a boy outside. Probably he was pro-Musharraf. It is certainly everyone’s democratic right to protest peacefully but not to cause mayhem. This is what our flag bearers of democracy and liberalism are: if you agree with them you are good; if not they will throttle you. And they resent it when you call them ‘liberal fascists’. The classic definition of fascism is the use of the most progressive rhetoric to further the most retrogressive ends. If they were true democrats and liberals they would not take oaths under provisional constitutional orders to protect their jobs, join unelected cabinets and seek offices of any kind.
Perhaps our hapless powers didn’t seriously expect Musharraf to return and so were not prepared for it. There is no precedent for them to follow, no template to adopt. Caught in utter confusion they are thrashing around like beached whales, unwittingly putting Musharraf’s life at greater risk by dragging him around from home to court to some police establishment to an anti-terrorism court. No one is saying that real justice shouldn’t take its course; of course it must but only under due process with balance and equity. They have no right to present the general on a platter to terrorists and potential killers. If, God forbid, anything happens to Musharraf his blood will be on their hands. With police brandishing fearsome weapons milling around him in the name of security, do they know that there is not another assassin amongst them, like Salman Taseer’s police ‘bodyguard’ shot him in the back like a coward?
This coldblooded, self-confessed assassin has many supporters amongst the ‘lawyers’ who showered flower petals on him and still lionize him. Are terrorist lovers terrorists or is Musharraf who fought them both? These ‘lawyers’ beat up judges, contrary lawyers, journalists, cameramen, photographers and politicians. They are officers of the court but like serial contemnors they repeatedly bring the judiciary into contempt by their hooliganism. They obviously don’t know the law. Judges in an egalitarian state where blind justice prevails equitably and every citizen is equal before the law should have cancelled their licenses and imprisoned them for mayhem and causing grievous bodily harm – or are they scared of them? The chief justice took nary any notice. But I suppose some citizens are more equal then others, what? This state has become Bedlam.
The government instituted this particular case against Musharraf for placing certain judges under house arrest on the instructions of the judiciary. Some of the same judges are still in various courts, including the chief justice, whether they sit on the bench hearing it or not. There is such a thing as influence. Judges are the injured party, complainants and adjudicators all at the same time, as Faiz lamented. Can judges be judges in their own cause? Can anyone? Is it due process? Many of these judges legitimized the 1999 countercoup and took oath under Musharraf’s first PCO. Are they Lilly White clean or are they a danger to Snow White? A partisan judiciary and a partisan media are the last thing a real democracy needs. They become democracy’s death knell.
Try Musharraf certainly in all cases that have been filed against him, no one is saying otherwise, but try all his “aiders, abettors and collaborators” too and only under due process. If the state doesn’t display wisdom, balance and equity and justice doesn’t flow from the courts it will soon start flowing through the barrel of a gun toted either by the army with gloves off or terrorists who don’t know what gloves are. God help us then. No one wants that for then there will be grave injustices. The prosecutors and persecutors of today will become the prosecuted and persecuted of tomorrow. We have dug ourselves into a ditch yet we continue digging. If we don’t stop digging the ditch will become our grave.
If they think that this will prevent future army interventions they could unwittingly hasten it. Just as the lawyers felt humiliated by the treatment meted out to their chief and came out in protest, the army will also feel humiliated with Musharraf’s hounding and could come out in protest in its own way. I would love to hear today’s chatter in the barracks and the messes.
If putting judges under house arrest is terrorism, then what is giving bail to numerous terrorists who went on to commit heinous acts of terrorism? Lack of evidence forsooth such outdated and ineffective laws and procedures must be changed. This was the first point in the 2007 Proclamation of Emergency. Nobody in his right mind could disagree with it. The blood of all those killed by the terrorists is on the hands of those magistrates and judges that gave them bail. So too the responsibility for the pain of those maimed and the lives destroyed of the victims’ families.
They would also try Gen Musharraf for treason under Article 6 for the 2007 emergency but not for the 1999 countercoup which the Supreme Court legitimized and became “aiders, abettors and collaborators”, as did the then president, the initial cabinet, politicians, generals, bureaucrats, editors and journalists who supported it. But in an act of legal terrorism against our collective intelligence, the last parliament of geniuses indemnified them all. If the 1999 countercoup had not been legitimized there is no way the 2007 emergency could have happened. You cannot take cognizance of the effect and not the cause.
Which Article 6 are they going to try Musharraf under, the one that obtained in 1999 and 2007 or the new one changed by the last parliament? The first didn’t contain the word ‘abeyance’, the second one does. The conclusion seems sadly inescapable that the amendment was Musharraf specific for he didn’t impose martial law nor abrogated the constitution but only put some of its articles in abeyance for a time – for 42 days in 2007 during which time he retired from the army. Is this their devious gambit of trapping him while saving their own skins, those who sat in the late parliament courtesy the NRO and pardons? Our late parliament of geniuses should have known that laws are made for dispensing justice, not extracting revenge. If these geniuses think that by indemnifying them the “aiders, abettors and collaborators” of 1999 they are off the hook they have another thought coming. There is manmade justice on earth and Divine Justice perpetually going on in Heaven. The wheels of God grind slowly but they grind exceedingly fine. There is no way that Musharraf can be tried for ‘high treason’ only for the 2007 emergency and not for the 1999 countercoup along with all “aiders, abettors and collaborators”. That justice should not only be done but also be seen to be done is axiomatic; so too impartiality that should not only obtain but also seen to obtain.

Well said BUT this is a dali qaum who have developed a habit of getting banged by Nora and Zer with a role of dalal done by kana
When the 75 percent People of this country are illitrate and character less how come we expect peace and justice?
,
Humayun you talk sense most the time. You say "Justice should be done but only under due process, with balance and equity. Yes otherwise it is no more justice. I can understand what you say between the lines. Whatever we are doing in the name of justice is judicial activism.
Pakistanis are in the habit of doing things at any cost or at all costs. We fought for Kashmir at the cost of Pakistan. We fought for blasphemy law even at the cost of parliament. We fought for Khatm i Nabawwat at the cost of national reputation. We are fighing for justice at the cost of justice itself. God will not save us.
If Gen. Musharraf was killed, he would be killed by anti Pakistan elements. What an enviable honor!!!
We all know , it isnt justice but a revenge of black coats
not black coats, I believe someone else's revenge, who ran away with big suit cases to Saudi Arabia. He has lots of money and u can see the result on media too.
For the first time in my 50 plus years of life, I’m ashamed to be a Pakistani. How low can we stoop to satisfy our false egos. The less said about justice in this country the better.
you r right sir, feeling same
go to Hell
Lawyers? They are CJ's foot soldiers, they can draw battle line against any one not like by him. http://passivevoices.wordpress.com/2012/11/15/cjs…
ashamed on a biased prejudiced judiciary and also ashamed on PAK ARMY's silence and response
The same Pak Army which President Musharraf served for 45 years with honor, dignity and honesty. The same Pak Army/ ISI which President Musharraf defended on every World Forums. Pak Army you should be ashamed of yourself for not protecting one of the very few Honest Generals you have produced in your short existence.
well said dont know what is pak army waiting for ? n what does it want to prove ?
The writer is right, the situation is very hopeless in Pakistan and we are in 100% control of corruption mafia. These politicians & judges will never let this country changed even after the elections, there'll be no change and we are going for the worst situations.
Sad isn't it….. We know the situation and we THE PEOPLE are accepting it….. We are losers and pathetically so.
Judiicial gunda gardi
Who says Adliya Azad hay?
bloody lawyers & criminals.who else??
The Judge with a grudge: http://passivevoices.wordpress.com/2013/04/21/mus…
I like it. The judge with a grudge. Shame on this so called justice.
Hamayun Gauhar I salute you, Pakistan is existing like some of good people who still speak truth, but otherwise I don't see Pakistan existence in future what some so call pakistani's are doing with some Patriot people. I am ashamed of media behavior on this issue, they will not call you in any talk show, if they will invite you will not give you time, i am totally pessimistic, May God have mercy on us..
Pakistan Inshallah is here to Stay u kno what u are and what u can do
Allah always Bless Musharraf. Lot of Like me with him n suporter
Jis ki Lathi os ki bianss, we were read it in primary classes but now get experience and it,s true.
please for God sake stop it otherwise we are gonna lose our beloved Pakistan.
yah allah meray watn-e-aziz ki hfazet frma . AMEEN
app bht justic justic krty ho kbhi khud be kuch roles ko follow kya hy.awy ka awa he ulta hy
Pakistan has been taken over by terrorists.
Ap pe b kehain toheem adalat ka case na ban jay mjy to ya shak ho raha hai SJ suomoto action b ly sakta hai.
Allah is with u Sir Musharraf they cant do any thing to u..insha allah
CJ couldn't even manage to get a single decision enforced except the Gilani's departure and that too only happened because Zardari approved of it.
Musharaf is cooperating what if he resists? They are rediculing him by using the word traitor and a Soldier would die but won't accept it, and similarly they army itself would feel targeted if they keep using this word. There is going to be landslide and everyone would be underneath.
the only writer who talks some sense!!! hats off!! judicial ghundagardi nahi chale ge…
to phir kia chaly ga?.give us the solution?
These black coat sheep’s are biggest black dot on Pakistan and most of them are dishonest people in the Pakistan, peoples know their real honesty and dealing in courts they are all shameless human.
Allah bless u sir for ur great and rational thoughts,, these extreme people will remain ignorant and will continue to diminish our national image… may Allah bless musharaf with long health, live and success
What justices, in Pakistan it always was a Mafia, the judges still take there share from the lawyers and the lawyers take there fees to the preset agreements with the judges I am a recent victim and have paid the amount to get the judgment so where is justices? Here in G. Musharraf case Chief Justices wants his revenge through his battalion of lawyers and judges which they are doing according to there plan of action. I hate the judicial system and those who support and praise them, beside Media is playing a vital role in that forgetting it is he who let the private channels operate in Pakistan with freedom of speech.
Lets all of us pray for a un for seen divine power to help Musharraf out of these vultures.
PM is living in his imaginary world. He is still popular among the people of pakistan. it seems like he's is out of his mind. Sorry, but he's is seeing his real worth nowadays. anyways, because of him, me and many other people dun like army now. they are servants, they have to behave like a servant.
Waqas you are absolutely right, army is the servant should behave like servant. However, do you know they serve whom? its the State. Their services are not for any individual or any party, especially any corrupt and shameless creatures. They will continue to serve the interest of the state even if it is against the designs of a few. I also agree with you that PM is seeing his real worth now, but please also see the entire world especially the civilized world is also seeing the worth of our Judicial system, where no one is barred from Election even fake degree holders, tax defaulters, duly established corrupt officials and the list goes on. What a Judicial Activism where all alleged terrorists has the human rights but not the victims of the act itself. What a fine judicial system where no terrorist have been tried during last ten years, despite evidences and willing / proud confessions (Malik Ishaq's case). Where the crime is established as per own convenience or which suits a few privileged one.
sorry to say but the way you describe army is nonsense, we have a short memory, go back in past and see all the videos and news papers published in pakistan you will see why he stepped up to take the control of the country. by the way your thought of considering pak army as your servants is aw-full these servants are meant to serve this country for the past 60 years or so that your borders are saved and you enjoying your life in pakistan.
I agree with Mr. Gihar.Agroup of dishonest and anti Pakistan mindset is behind the game under umbrella of judiciary. Layers and judges are direct party. Every thing is doing as per plan. As CJ was called on by then president om Friday and ask for resigned like wise Musharaf saab bail was cancelled on Friday Judges supposed to be detained in their house the same have done with Mr.Musharaf. We are not satisfy with the process going on.
what has done Cj only ask powerfull why they have broken the law. yout satisfation is not required law will prevail hold on dear
It is not at all playing with fire.
Even if it went completely wrong nothing will happen, those responsible will continue living their lives as usual.
The docile nation will keep going on. The sheeple of Pakistan will continue be herded.
shame on this judiciary! shame shame shame! who will keep a check on the chief justice?? who will make sure he acts by the book and not on impulse and revenge?/ sad sad day for Pakistan
Finally! Someone who is not afraid to speak out the truth.. Pakistani media seems to have sold its soul to Nawaz.. The same media that was granted freedom and brought to the fore by Musharraf..
What can one say about our lawyers.. The crows in black coats that threw petals on Salman taseer’s murderer! what can we expect from these people?
General Pervaiz musharraf was right.. Pakistan ka Allan hi Hafiz hai.
Thanks for writing something positive for Gen.PM. My eyes lost patience while searching truth for the last five years in the media printed/electronic in Pakistan.God bless you.And shame on socalled responsibles of justice and fairplay
It is a part of revenge; that is being done. If judges were oppressed, they must appear in court after resignation from their posts, like Musharf. One must think himself as human being that he can also do any mischief in life, similarly a judge can also do a mischief. It was a "mischief" that led judge saab to "house arrest". If he was right and has courage to face the reality, he must come up without his designation!
Every word written by you is correct but in vain, C.J is not going to budge
MUSHARRAB AIK IMAN DAR INSAN HEN. MULK K LIYE UNHON NE BOHOT KUCH KIA. AWAM KHUSH HAAL THE. OR MUSHARRAF SAHAB NE AIK QANOON BANA K TAMAM MAZDORON KO 5% KI RAQAM 4. GUNA ZIADA KARDI THA.

this act of RAPE of justice has made a mockery of Pakistan and Pakistanis abroad,specially the gulf countries,our Indian colleagues are taunting us,even anti Musharraf Pakistanis are feeling ashamed.Thank you CJ.
If the so called guardians of justice do much more, and if the army and the international community stays silent, then it’s time to leave this country. This is not where I want my children to grow up, because this is not where I grew up!
I Salute you Mr Humayun Gauhar ! you are a brave man.
very well written article.
It really saddens me to see how the corruption mafia has started attacking Gen Musharraf like a pack of hyaenas.
All the mafias in this country got together and formed a mafia mafia.
Gen musharraf is the only patriot honest leader we ever had in the history of this country
I think its about time we "the silent majority" stood up for what is right
I hope kiani becomes a man and wakes up before a movement starts within the army against him.
I agree with hamayun, but astonished to know that Mr. Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui was a candidate of MMA from R.Pindi, has remained lawyer of Moulana Abdul Aziz of Lal masjid?????? It is open secret that MMA (Jui & JI) had role in creation of terroists, I mean the general who fought against those. ….. he is appearing for justice before . My mind is just locked and terrorised.
Finally, I think I have found a journalist who has not sold his conscience for money.
BRAVE people never exist in Pakistan. Great Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto denied exile and he was hanged. Now Brave Commando dared to come back to fight with these terrorists but they are trying to kill him as well. May Allah bless you Musharraf.
This situation is same as ""Jesey ek Sher ko Darpok Geedaron ne gher lia ho". They cant fight with him but pinching him here and there.
i am ashamed to be a Pakistani becaus of cheap justice and the supreme court,
MUSHRAF is a great leader……………….
The writer deserves the highest compliments for writing such a balanced article and exposing the evil designs of partial, unfair, unjust, biased and discriminatory judiciary.
Mr. Humayun seems to have taken up courage and spoken the honest truth about every incidence from the past to match the incidence of these days…compared and contrasted both and have given a very logical and clear picture of the way our Pakistani judiciary works and have worked in the past too and how biased they can very often be!!! What we can now gather from all the mentioned incidences is that the black coated terrorists have taken over the courts of Pakistan and the judges too…and are running the show here…seems that even the CJ is afraid too to give PM a fair trial…Why is the army quiet? they let the ppp gov loot the country…why? what are they waiting for to happen??? is the army too involved in trying to destroy what is left of Pakistan and its people???
Very well said nd very well written, i am of the same point of view
Well argued & well said. Gen (r) Musharraf should’ve been booked 1st under Article 6 for the coup (or the counterCoup, the learned writer likes to term it) of 1999. But they won’t try him, as the judges themselves are his 1st & foremost abettors. And never on earth a complainant is him/herself the prosecutor & the judge in his/her own cause. The Gen should be tried but not in revengeful manner. Unfortunately Pakistani justice system is in the hands of pygmies & zombies!
superb, humayun sahib……aik aik baat sahee hai……aur congrats, you are alone in the media, in this fight for the right perspective in the cases against president Musharraf…………..aap hi hain jo internationally and mulk mein bhi, sachaai ko behtareen andaaz mein sab ke saamney la saktey hain…..aap ke liye duaain…
musharraf's innocent and everyone is still wondering what are those forces against whom musharraf and co. is helpless and every educated of you is amazed that great power you all are not exposed to…that is power of mango man of…who is neither educated nor can bash on facebook and social media…yet he is equally shareholder of the respect of this country…this is a lesson for you ppl that u must never ever underestimate the power of a mango man…their are still more lesson, musharaf is coming up with….
I am very sad to see what is happening now in Pakistan and how all these enemies of Pakistan trying to trap Gen Musharaff but all their struggle IN SHA ALLAH will go in vain.This is time for our peoples to come out and raise their voice in support of Gen Saheb,he is the only one who can save Pakistan and her peoples from all the crisis and that is why all these enemies of Pakistan afraid of him.I can see clearly if thing get little worse then Armies will come and take over and i think it will be good omen then they will dealt with all these corrupt politicians.Pakistan going through one of the hardest time and the nation have to decide wisely,even media also playing negative role.ALLAH may bless our country and guide our peoples to the right way..
You r right sir, President should be released at any cost .
The writer is right, the situation is very hopeless in Pakistan and we are in 100% control of corruption mafia. These politicians & judges will never let this country changed even after the elections, there'll be no change and we are going for the worst situation.Lets all of us pray for PAKISTAN. and should stand wd Musharraf..
true sir.pz do request barister saif to support sir musharraf by providing him legal assistance.He needs someone like him.
This whole drama just remind me of a Shahzad Roy song "Laga rah" and the last line "ye qoum kisi zaroori kam se sou rahi hy inhein mat jagaoo"
Great Injustice is being done by Judishry. What amazes me is the most beloved commander is being draged court to court and humiliated while their brotheren just sit back and watch. My question to Armymen the most beloved people in Pakistan is. Have you become like these political people empty of Love for Nation or you can still be called Pakistan Army. All I know is person who fights for nation next to your shoulder is always your brother. You Do Not Leave Your Brother in the Hands of Vultures. And if you leave him then you have lost your Pride to Pakistan. We love you for what you are. Not for what we are seeing.
judicial blood thirst has awaken now they want to suck the blood of musharraf.but this time there will be no more pakistan
This CJ has humiliated Pakistan in this case more then the combined history of this Nation. He thinks he is god. But he does not know the real God “Allah”. Inshallah His time will Come for suffering and all whom who is supporting him. Inshallah
It is only revengeful game under umbrella of judiciary back by Nawaz leage
is this THE NATION? that quaid e azam and iqbal dreamed of is this what we are doing to a person who faught for us and who has done so much betterment to this coutry that the existing politician cannot even do in 30 years?
Here are my simple questions:
why dollar remain stable around 60 while in 1992 to 1999 it went from 27 to 59?
Have we forgotten that after 9/11 the pakistan could have been smashed to stone age ?if that was wrong decision then tell the nation why nawaz shareef went to states during kargil? did he went for nehari breakfast?real american pattos
Honestly tell how many of you before media freedom were aware of these names?KAMRAN KHAN,HAMID MEER,JAVAID CHAUDRY and other prime time anchors?
They talk of bhugti and call him a hero .The nation(only those who are awake) is asking them where that bhugti son was carrying weapons when he was caught red handedly infront of media? and is the blood of a soldier nothing in our eyes?today the CJP and judges talks of rule of law,where the hell was law when they released shazain bhugti and who will answer to the martyers soldiers family who died in bhugti tribe?
Ask ameen faheem why did he met musharaf before benazir return?agar musharaf na he karna hota benazir k sat yeh to usay anay kiu deta ?
Hum Pakistani yeh samaj betay hain k duniya main ISLAM hamaray liyh aaya ha ,yeh bhul gai hain k pakistan islam k nam pe bana ta .Masjid ka matlab he ibadat ki jaga ha or ALLAH ka ghar b .LAL MASHJID ko ibadat k naam pe dehshat gardi k liyh istemal karna kia jaiz ha islam main?kia hum bhul gai apni sab islami taleemat? yahi sikaya ta kia hamain kia jehad k naam pe?
Just compare the 3 marshal laws with the so called democratic government performances.if you really are a man of senses you will come to know who has done damage and who did good to this nation?
Though i never raised my voice but today after looking at what is happening with SIR Pervez Musharaf ,I thought if not today then never.
Long live Musharaf
Musharaf is the person who stabilized the country, brought progress to this nation, gave rights to minorities, established a better image of Pakistan across the world. And now Supreme court of this country want to prosecute him on terrorism and treason. Shame on you Supreme court Justices, all of you. If Pakistan Army and general would not stand up for the better of this country, you would not be sitting on those honorable positions today. Pakistan Army should act right now and throw out all these nonsense black coat lawyers out. They are the most illiterate people in Pakistan. Pakistan needs millions of Musharaf to bring this country to prosperity.
This Chief Justice played a pivotal role in energy crises of Pakistan. I'm not giving any more details but a hint only. Rest you people can research yourself. Seems like some anti-nationalist mafia is ruling Pakistan.
PLEASE DO SOMETHING FOR GENERAL PERVAIZ MUSHARRAF.HE IS A BRAVE MAN/SOLDIER. IN HIS EVERY ACTION SO MANY PEOPLE WERE INVOLVED THEN WHY HE IS ALONE IN JAIL?
They say the lawyers are the breed one finds in the lowest ebb of Hell. The legal fraternity is proving that right with earnest. If democracy wraps up this time in Pakistan, it will not because of the corruption of the outgoing government but it will be the ill, sick minded activism of Pakistan's legal fraternity aka Cheap Justice and his cronies.
Pakistan ka Allah hi hafiz!
judge should not be personal to any one..they should treat him through proper channel.. they should listen to him. one thing is beyond understanding that our court let alot of terrorists get free from jail and sent that person to jail who was against terrorism…
I can hear the boots marching, media and judiciary does not!
adlia shame on u
The most corrupt system of Pakistan is judiciary, u still cant file a case without some Ransom … from gate to the court room uve to pay … chief justice leads the rest in process ! what a pity on us sir ! May Allah have mercy on General
sir humayun!! i salute you!! i am your fan now!!
In G.Pervaiz Musharraf case, Media is playing a very dirty game. I am ashamed on Media behavior you can see what black coat sheep is doing for CJ
Well said Humayun, the Kana is mind less, the nation is mind less, Kana is still working under the PCO oath.
It's always easy to advice others then follow.
So you didn't have courage and guts to make room for some one who has a different opinion.What was wrong with my comments"Dictator destroyed Pakistan".
i am really ashamed to be a pakistani… where lies are made truth
Fairly balanced analysis, the crux is :
If the state doesn’t display wisdom, balance and equity and justice doesn’t flow from the courts it will soon start flowing through the barrel of a gun toted either by the army with gloves off or terrorists who don’t know what gloves are –
I think the people of Pakistan have enough spine. We're ready to come out on the streets and show these evil people we can take them on. We mustn't let Musharraf down. We must stand up for him or we'll never be able to look in the mirror.
After the retirement of cj n army chief, both will be facing same music,which retired gen musharaf is facing.Ye quom chartay suraj ki pujari hay.this whole system stinks.
I am totally agreed with the writer. All these questions which the writer raised were in my mind and they need answer. Judiciary is only taking revenge. This is not a justice but a revenge game
It is said that "JUSTICE IS BLIND" but today Pakistan's Judicary is "BLIND WITH REVENGE"so much so that POLICE implicated peaceful demonstrators of APML in KARACHI UNDER ATC ACT only to please Judicary,Justice Siddiki and PML(N).
IT IS ASTONISHING THAT THE SO CALLED HR COMMISSION,SO CALLED CIVIL SOCIETY,SO CALLED DEMOCRATS,EX-SERVICEMEN SOCIETY/CLUB AND SO ON AND SO FORTH ARE DEAF N DUMB and mere a silent spectators what an IRONY of this so called "ISLAMIC NATION"
That is the truth for us as public but what about the BLACK SHEEP trying their best to get the HERO?
Please, I request all who may read this, that our only hope of justice is Almighty, so pray to him for justice for our Hero and that he comes out of each case with truimph and honour.
Allah unnhay Izzat aur Zindagi dai. ameen
Thank You a bunch for writing such a nice article…. full of convincing arguments.
For those living in Islamabad and Rawalpindi: Can we arrange a peaceful protest against the injustice and biased behaviour of judiciary towards Musharraf and the brutal acts of the black coats?????
I condemn the vicious acts of the black coats 🙂
Mr. Gauhar you are doing great job,this is probably for the first time its happening like this and perhaps most dangerous consequences will it get,
Absolutely nonsense and extremely biased,
The so called CJ has to keep himself ready to face the music don't forget 2002………..?????
and there is lots and lots to be exposed
about media they are playing the game and proved that they are just the opportunist nothing but absurd and cheap
if Musharaf is trialed then lets get ready for the big game this country will never learn the lesson from the past mean what about those whom responsible for 1970 debacle and about judicial murder of Bhutto and so on you cannot be selective just because some one is not a son of the soil as this what which matters in this country,
God sake we going straight to hell will somebody save this country????
Thank you Humayun shb for bringing into light the stark reality that our beloved country today faces cold-hearted enemies within. I have always admired Mr. Musharaf for a man in possession of all essential qualities of a progressive, passionate, philosopher and patriot leader our country deserves. He was and is the best we have seen in quite a while to lead our nation. Certainly not devoid of human folly, he always acted in deep regard for this country and our economic and geopolitical statistics of his era will always bear witness to that. Divine justice will prevail, come one day, and i hope and pray that Pakistan is able to withstand these forces of destruction till they falter, fail and perish.
its sad that one who fought wars for Pakistan is being treated in this manner ! ex Indian army chief praised Musharraf saying that he moved several kilo meters in Indian occupied Karil area and spent a night there with his soldiers !
What about zardari and his black money ? what about NRO based parliamentarian ? what about mis conduct of CJ ? what about the case of CJ son who black mailed so many people and digested there money as reported !
Pakistan is now totally a bannana state , who ever come on roads and beat people becomes the master ! CJ should take notice about the KALA COAT TERRORISTs !
Mr. Gauhar you are doing great job,this is probably for the first time its happening like this and perhaps most dangerous consequences will it get,
Mujhe hae hukm e aza’n… well done Humayun Gauhar; Jazak Allah!
The Partisan of Media is exposed by Musharaf Trial, Media claims that they took freedom through their struggle.
We remember the time in 1999, when there is only 1 Channel, PTV and their main duty is to highlights the performance of the Government.
Thanks to Musharraf, The Media is free.
But I regret we have to open our eyes by viewing the fact that media is a party.
جناب آپ اپنے وکلا سے کہیں غصہ نہ کریں کیو نکہ غصہ عقل کو کھا جاتاھے اور کام غلط ھو جاتا ھے باقی اللہ خیر کرے گا انشاء اللہ ۔
I salute you Sir, we are not satisfied with this activism against a person those who come back to his country to face the Court of Justice, on the hope of free trail,
Absolutely right not coward happening for the first time that someone came back to face the charges not like shareef brothers and zardaris just think about them bloody parasites how dare they called themselves even human beings,
they ripped this country now claiming themselves to be patriot what a humiliating joke,and pity om this country.
God bless Musharaf,
An Army Chief fighting against terrorism has been charged with act of terror? What a pitty for the rule of law.
These are liars not lawyers and playing like gods and godesses but in my opinion pak Army will not bear this humiliation and very soon this so called azad adlia and so called democracy will have to pay the price.Our feelings are being changed from patriotism to terrorism and this move will change the whole future and not only the social picture but also the geographical aspect of the great pakistan…unfortunately it was really great in Pervaiz Musharaf times.and he is being victimized by the dajjals
It has been interesting journey to see Great CJP restoration by People Power until he became common street thug. Who just knows how to abuse his powers instead using for peoples good. Now who will remove the common Thug this is the biggest question the Nation faces.
selective justice would be detrimental for the whole system.mushraf is not the only person to be dealt with. the cronies of zia ul haq r thriving in this country.the role of lawers in mushraf trial is shamful. court should also take action against the deal signed between nawaz and mushraf in 1999.mushraf alone is not responsible for whole mess
WHEN IT HAPPENS WITH OTHERS IT IS CALLED AS ACT OF DESTINY BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS WITH YOU, YOU ASK FOR JUSTICE WITH BALANCE AND EQUITY. ASK GENERAL WHERE WAS IT WHEN HE DID INJUSTICE TO ME AND ASK HIM WHO PLAYED WITH THE FIRE IN KARGIL…HE OR ME… NOW RELAX AND ENJOY DESTINY.
Will not return Pakistan as was planning for. This is not the country i want to live in. Turned down my decision to come back and serve my country. CJ shame in you.
Destiny! Is this call a destiny. It is the vicious circle. Wait and witness. Army will show lawyers THE destiny.
Media should open their eyes, the majority of literate population is dis-crediting the media role, when it comes to handling of courts for Mushrraf. Time will come soon when corrupt media, judges along with their sponsors will be punished.
Really it is sad to see that how now it is being portrayed and a group of media is negative and biased in reporting the events . they r not showing thugs who r beating the lovers of pervez musharraf . if this is as per law then musharraf was at fault that he did not crush these Lahore's " shameless " mian type people who begged once they were in the thick soup. They will Insha Allah meet their fate .
From last few days I m feeling very sad coz, What is happening in the country… DAJJAL is sitting on the seat of JUSTICE. It is Judicial terrorism… World knows what is going on with Musharraf.. Where is Justice..
And SHAME on media who is doing trial of Musharraf sab. And feeling shame on myself also that I CANT DO ANY HELP TO SAVE MY HERO…
I CAN ONLY PRAY TO GOD. MAY ALLAH SAVE HIM FOR PAKISTAN.
AMIN.
This “azad adliya” doesn’t even know how to take ‘revenge’ with CLASS.
They’ve stooped SO low.
It’s not “adliya” anymore, just a bunch of neighbourhood hooligans …
as a retired Army man i am ashamed of Pak Army's silence. I personally feel that if a person himself wants to justify himself in the court he should have been given fair and free trial.Afterall its the first precedence musharraf is setting to produce himself to court, even though in whatever capacity he was , he was the president of this country… dont insult ur presidents in front of the entire international forus and media. I personally feel that our Cheap Justice CJ should also point finger at his son's crime and aligations and step down from SC as CJ to face trial or to fight his son case in the court……..shame shame judiciary shame shame .
Humayun sb, I was unable to find any balanced view on this issue anywhere. Its correct that during bad times, even our shadows leave us alone. Same is sadly happening to Musharraf. All those Chaudhris, and general, and politicians and media personnel who benefited during Musharraf's time are either silent today, or they have completely washed their hands, and loudly campaigning against him.
For the judiciary, i can only say that they have released known and acclaimed sectarian killers like Malik Ishaq on 'lack of evidence', are trying musharraf for terrorism on topmost priority, what a mockery of justice.
The very black coated lawyers who threw petals on salman taseers murderer, are throwing shoes and abuses at Musharraf, tells the truth who is on the right side.
The saddest part is that we have forgotten how Nawaz Sharif as head of state attacked the judiciary, froze accounts of its own citizens ,begged for gold from the women of Pakistan,hijacked an army chief's plane and yet we are ready to make him our next PM .Lord help the people of Pakistan to understand the meaning of Democracy
The writer himself is Real Auther of Mushi's book ''Sub se Pehley Pakistan'' and has been supporting him through out his 10 years Governance .And Advising him all the Wrongs he Committed in his regime. Now the People who demands Justice for Mushi never said a single word in Favour of CJ and Judiciary who had been Put into House Arrest after 3 Nov. Then How come they Seek justice for an Unjustice person ? Everything which goes round ,comes round. Mushi have to pay back oneday.
And his Loyal supporters should come out on Roads and start a Movment like lawyers and People of Pakistan did for their Chief Justice who they love.
@Khan ……. If one studies the contents of the Declaration of Emergency and knowing the conditions prevalent at the time. The judiciary itself brought things to a point where the Government had no choice but to resort to their removal. As regards detention etc that I am sure was a matter with the Capital Administration who themselves were in the mood to give some parting kicks becase of the way they had been abused and ridiculed by the Judiciary.
I salute you. Thank you
I salute MR Humayun.Gohar.Who hasZameer.THIS Adliya can not give jaustice under the leadership Iftikhar choudhry.Well informed people know CJ himself remained corrupt thru out his tenure as ajudge.Few exaamle :!.remember his sifafrishat for his son for placing him on the job the son wanted.2.what happened to his sons legal case complained by mr. malik Riaz.CJ claims he is not aware of his sons deeds,What a Innocsence.3 His son became millionare Papa became blind to see what was happening around him.4 what happened to his own reference frm govt.which was not heard by bench headed by Ramday sb.Who was rewarded thru extension against their own set policy.5.why audit of account of expenditure of Supreme Court.Baap ka Maal hai Kya? Ilyas Khan Tenn.USA
As a true patriot Musharaf came to Pakistan to face charges against him by his enemies.He wrongly expected that the judicary would give him a fair trial HE also wanted his political party to participate in th elections.Hver the juicary and the back coats with the support of Nawaz Sharif and the media want to involve Msharaf in litigation and prevent him in participating in the elections.They want revenge
Basically we r a disrespectful nation…. We do not respect and praise the great leaders like Mr Musharraf and we welcome the persons like Nawaz Shareef and Zardari that's why today we r living a life of hell
What Goes around Comes around … We always wait for Divine JUSTICE
Musharraf is the only true and honest leader. Those who are humiliating him will reach their anjaaaaam ultimately – I am sure.
For these black coats Gunday… "Kabhi aaoo naa Karachi, Khusbhoo laga kay". I feel very unlucky not to be in Islamabad where these liers (read as lawyers) are throttling innocent people.
Hats off to all the supporters of Pakistan who dared to come out and showed solidarity with the General.
Wakeel karnay say behtar hay Judge kar lein, laykin yahan pay tou pehlay say hee Cheap Justice (read as Cheif Justice) is hiring all his faithful lawyers so that no one can trial him, even after his retirement for, acting as “aiders, abettors and collaborators".
whart has done mushraf with this nation you are the part of it. gohar sb are feeling discorfort to accept rule of law in this country. Mushraff should be punished for his crimes.
A :I am in agreement with Mr, Hamayon Ghaur coloumn that we have to move sensibily and not to play with fire.
B :As a muslim nation we have to provide a fair trial to Mr, Pervaiz Mushraf ex President of Pakistan.We accept that wrong doings have been on his part while dealing with Judiciary but has done execellent jobs during his tenure.for info to the people of pakistan ,I would recall those all here.
C: 1: 9/11 decision to save pakistan from a sever attack from USA. 2:Economy buildup and about 7GDP in his tenure.installation of Engro Fetilizer and Fatima fertilizer with nos' of cement industries. 3: development of IT sector.Improvement of Railway with the help of CHINA .4: Higher Education commission empowerment and production of 3000 PHDs' 5: Double Railway line from Lodhran to Lahore which has been completed up to Sahiwal in 2008. 6: His Nuclear approach when in 2004 when Iran and Lybia said that their nuclear programme is initiated by the help of Pakistan. USA was handled in avery well manner. Earth quack in 2005 ,Inteligently handled by Mr, Musharaf. 7: Foreign Direct Investment in his tenure was of 8.5 billion US dollar.__
D :Please compare his tenure with previous five years, you will find what a leadership was of Mr, Musharaf.Country was developing day &night.Peoples of Pakistan were happy. Jobs were available for graduates.Donot Kill the leaders like Mr, Musharaf,Mr, Liaqat Akli Khan, Mr, Z.A Bhutto and Motharma Benizir Bhutto.Let to allow Mr, Musharaf to work for Pakistan. His Links to world may be used for the development of Pakistan.__

Imran Khan said many times now we have independent judiciary. Is this an independent judiciary ?
simply i feel ashamed of our corrupt judiciary.it is thr personel vendatta with Musharraf.but sir thank u very much to bring out trouth infront of people.
Judiciary-Lawyers-Militants-Media Nexus – the new power centre. The nation must continue to live in subservience, as they have lived for centuries.
Very well written piece but will it deter THE UNTOUCHABLE from his vindictive pursuits
The entire judiciary under Iftikhar Chaudhry, is out of their senses. Humayun Sahab, please keep on writing and revealing your far sighted observations based on facts and figures, only unbiased person like you may succeed through your pen, in convincing the majority of our nation to understand ground reality. Being a Pakistani, may I request all to believe, that whatever decision Pervez Musharaf, had taken during his tenure, was only in the interest of Pakistan (Pakistan Comes First). Yes, regarding his decision on CJ, I am unable to comment. However, the way Pervez Musharaf, is being humiliated by Judges, Lawyers and the Courts, they must be out of their minds, for God sake stop it once for all, be realistic and act like an educated and impartial judiciary. Had Pervez Musharaf, be a traitor, he could have enjoyed living abroad for lifetime, on the contrary he realised as patriotic Pakistani, to return and do his best in overcoming all the crisis being faced by Pakistan. Don't mess around with a man of dignity and honour for Pakistan, otherwise the entire nation has to pay for the catastrophe.
The Judiciary and the lawyers are setting up an ugly example. But it goes with their profile. Apart from some elites studying law, a lawyer in Pakistan is a person unable to perform in any other field. The are even behind our teachers is selection of carrier and profession. Having not been able to excel in academics to adopt any other profession, its common for a rotten lad to study law in Pakistan. I do not remember any of my classmates in top 70% having studied law. Unfortunately judges of upper courts are also picked up from this whole bunch of brats who have ever lived with an inferiority complex. Even our esteemed CJ was equally bad as a student and failed to get passing grades at multiple stages. This background keeps them to become cultured enough to absorb elevation to such esteem. We really have to do something about it at national level. Infact their mentality never rises above underprivileged, illiterate mullah who sits on pedestal of Imam.
Respect able Humayun Gouhar. I really jumped over the chair after going through your fact based article. My question is that for probing the Benazir Bhuto case the pak. govt.have spent a huge amount for Scotland yard and united nations,resulting zero.Can Gen. Pervaiz Mushraf move this case to United Nations against the fabricated case for justice?
