@Hassan amin

“The constitution clarifies “consultation” thus: “consultation shall, save in respect of appointments of Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts, mean discussion and deliberation which shall not be binding on the President.”

“save in respect of appointments of Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts, ”

means its meaning has not changed or this issue is an exception.

Even in dictator’s \LFO and the clause mentioned above they left the meaning of consultation in case of judicial appointments as it is meaning binding or meaningful consultation.

you ve probably misunderstood the phrase used in the article.

@Hassan Amin,

I cannot fathom that Chief Justice of Pakistan will misinterpret the constitution and will declare a legal notification null and void…..why would he do that ?

@Umair3

So even if your statement is accepted then the supreme court has struck it down and is going to resolve it in a court of law.

WHAT IS THE ISSUE ???

Get out of the Zardari phobia and tell me ?

The President has acted totally in accordance with the constitution. Those judges who refused to comply with the govt notification have gone all out against the constitution of the land!

According to the Constitution of Pakistan (Article 177) on the appointment of Supreme Court judges” “The Chief Justice of Pakistan shall be appointed by the President, and each of the other Judges shall be appointed by the President after consultation with the Chief Justice.”

The constitution clarifies “consultation” thus: “consultation shall, save in respect of appointments of Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts, mean discussion and deliberation which shall not be binding on the President.”

It isn’t difficult to see who has violated the constitution and committed treason .The Chief Judge should voluntarily step down!

It is clearly stated in our constitution Clause # 177 (1) “The Chief Justice of Pakistan shall be appointed by the President, and each of the other Judges shall be appointed by the President after consultation with Chief Justice”

In current issue, Zardari did not consult with CJP and proceeded to appoint the Judges at his own behest which is an open violation of aforementioned clause.

Worst times have arrived therefore Mr. 10% (ten percent) have become leaders of our beloved country. I will not go into the details how corrupt our leaders are. Along with corruption they don’t care if poor people live or die. Zardari and his government have sold our country for few dollars and now our national interests are also on sale by him. When I think about the situation in Pakistan my heart really goes, looking at the necessity which Pakistani nation does not have, such as Sugar, Wheat flour, Electricity, Gas, jobs, clean drinking water and there is huge list of other necessities which Pakistani nation does not enjoy. However leaders of Pakistan have turned a blind eye to the problems of poor people. I always wonder that why Pakistan does not utilizes 18 billion people and produce various items which can later be sold in international market such as Airplanes, Fast Trains, Weapon technology and various other items. Leaders of Pakistan have pledged to neglect this nation and they are extremely busy filling their own pockets with stolen poor people’s money. I pray to God that the injustice vanishes soon and we see a real and authentic leader who can lead us through prosperity and happiness. I believe the leaders of Pakistan have failed to look after their country and they have failed to show care. We as a nation should unite together and raise against the ignorance we face today. Thank you

It is simple issue of governance. No other country makes such noise over routine matters like elevation of judges. Let the institutions decide about these. Media (especially Jang Group) should mind its policy of cashing on constitutional matters. Everyone is insane these days thanks to so called free media.

Had the media reacted the same way if Rafiq Tarrar did the same decision?

In simple : “A” President doing his job VS “A” Chief Justice not liking his decision.
Forget who is who for a moment and tell me who is right and who is wrong ?

The media has gone insane.

@ Gauhar

So the issue is of the President doing his job or the Chief Justice doing his ?

Or is it that we dont like coz Zardari did it? And we will only have it the Chief Justice’s way only ?

Grow up MEDIA…
