Lets fend off the temptation to be utopian. Lets face realities.
Judiciary in Pakistan is another institution that needs a complete overhaul.

It laid the foundations of the `Law of Nessecity` and failed forever to ever invoke the Precedence of Previous Law.

It voluntarily (albeit brief cases carried by Tarrar) brought down a Chief Justice who single handedly wanted to take on the politicians and establishment for making the constitution a Joke.

Now Chaudary`s own colleagues sit in judgement over him.

Day in and Day out, Lower Courts churn out dubious judgements based on which way the cash flows.

In the final analysis, Chaudary may come out clean and everyone will say, `we respect the verdict`. If this happens than the next elections may find a new alliance. MMA will be traded off for PPPPPPPPP.

i just dont get it. there are allegations against the cj, and legal method is to refer the matter to his peers. this is one legal thing done by the gormint ...there were many other illegal ones but there was not this much hue and cry (on the chowk). anyhoo..since the islamic parties, mqm (read those with street power) and the US state dept are with musharaff things are cool.
