Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry has remarked that the logical end of the contempt of court law case would be in the benefit of the democracy irrespective of whatever it might be, adding that it has become a tradition in the country that courts are considered enemy after they give a verdict against someone. The remarks came as a five-judge bench headed by the CJ on Monday resumed hearing into multiple identical petitions against the Contempt of Court Act 2012. Pleading before the bench, petitioner Shahid Orakzai submitted that ‘contempt’ does not mean disrespect to the court; instead, it means antagonism to justice, adding that the Article-204 of the Constitution does not make any mention of apology over contempt charge. How come then pardon, which the constitution does not ensure, could be given under a law, he asked. A petitioner Shahid Orakzai said the law would have to be scrutinised in the light of the constitution. “Here a man convicted in contempt case is respected and greeted with flowers despite the fact that he is an enemy of justice,” he said. Another lawyer Arshad Baggu said that the court could not take action against the accused if he ridiculed all the judges of the SC. The CJ said, “The judges are considered enemy when the court gives a verdict against someone while it becomes good when it gives a ruling in their favour.” Meanwhile, counsel for Pakistan Bar Council (PBC) also urged the SC to strike down the new contempt of court law as it was in violation of the constitution. Latif Afridi, counsel for PBC, while arguing before the bench, said that the impression that the judiciary was opposing the parliament should be done away with. He prayed the court to declare the law as completely in conflict with the constitution and strike down. The CJ said that the parliament and the judiciary were for the 180 million people of Pakistan. He said the debate in the media, civil society and judiciary over the contempt law was a positive sign. The chief justice remarked that it was important that the largest body of lawyers was seeking orders to strike down the law.
Damn right CJ. Now be a man & sentence Zardari, Gilani, Rehman Malik to hanging for the crime of treason against the nation.

My advice to every jiayala. If you hold on to your life savings of ten rupees, then, under the inflation rate of this ppp govt. you could be a millionaire in just ten years. Heck, you might even be paid a million ruppees a month. Not that it would buy you any more than what it does now but who cares. You'll still be a millionaire!!!

Something in the way the CJP used his words made me pause. Is he about to back down yet again? Not what he said but the way he said it. I don't know. I hope I am wrong.
Why is he so worried about what is not his business? Isn't he violating his oath and traditions of Judiciary?
What are you saying? The LAW IS the business of a judge. It is the whole reason for their existence. They interpret law, implement laws according to justice and when necessary, change laws by rulings.
If a judge has no job dealing with the law then doctors should drive taxis and Taxi drivers should perform brain sugary. In your case, that may have already happened.
Moron!!
If President Asif Ali Zardari is the real spiritual son of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, as he claims, then he must understood that the first Contempt of Court Law was framed by Bhutto in 1976 by replacing the 1926 Contempt Law to protect the sanctity of the Supreme Court. Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary ha been taking the right view that the repealing of the recently promulgated Contempt Law would ensure democracy in the country. Suppose martial law was imposed in the country one again, as it happened before many times, then what would be the role of the Judiciary when immune people would damage each and every decision of the court according to their political needs. If the Contempt Law was not declared null and void, the future of democracy would be bleak in this country and totalitarian regimes would easily flourish. Dr Ahmad Rashid Malik – Islamabad.
Its treason to violate constitution. CJ should be hanged.
Idiot
