	Asia Times Online :: South Asia news - An assault on the way Pakistan is ruled
		KARACHI - Military rule in Pakistan since 1958 has been characterized by the strengthening of an oligarchy that, although not necessarily drawn from the military, has certainly served the military establishment and its goals.
		Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry was suspended by President General Pervez Musharraf on March 9 on charges of abuse of power and nepotism.
		Ruling parties such as the Pakistan Muslim League and the Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) have had little scope to express their displeasure through press statements or political means.

	DAWN - Features; September 14, 2002
		The appointment of Justice Chaudhry Iftikhar Hussain as chief justice of the Lahore High Court, superseding Justice Fakhrunisa Khokhar, long serving woman judge of the LHC, negated the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the principle of seniority, he said.
		Mr Khairi, head of Al-Jihad Trust, said that the appointment of a junior judge of the LHC as chief justice, was a blatant violation of the Judges Case.
		The present chief justice of Pakistan, he said, had become the chief justice only because of the Judges Case and if he continued succumbing to the desires of the executive, the applicability of the seniority principle would also be abandoned in the Supreme Court as well.

		Under the Constitution of Pakistan, anytime the office of the chief justice of Pakistan is vacant, the most senior of the other judges of the Supreme Court may be appointed to act as chief justice.
		A non-Muslim is not disqualified for being appointed as a judge or a chief justice.
		Opposition to Justice Bhagwan Das’s appointment as the acting chief justice stems from the mistaken notion that a non-Muslim cannot be well-versed in Islamic law and its interpretation.

		The suspended Constitution of Pakistan provided for an independent judiciary; however, in practice, the judiciary remains subject to executive branch and other outside influences, and despite the Musharraf Government's pledge to respect the independence of the judicial system, it has taken steps to control the judiciary and to remove the Government from judicial oversight.

	Op-Ed
		Pakistan’s military saviours, their list seemingly endless because when one departs (often unceremoniously) there is always another in the wings desperate to take his place, have never been content to do their soiled work by themselves.
		But the trend under the present chief justice to take note, often suo moto, of issues affecting the public interest, issues that seldom claimed the attention of the Supreme Court before, is setting a powerful new precedent.
		It goes to the credit of Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudry that he is doing exactly this and not hiding behind the excuse, that would have been readily available to anyone less energetic, that the Supreme Court was meant for ‘higher’ things (such as, I suppose, the doctrine of necessity).
