Chief Justice of Pakistan Illegally Suspended by President

1 decade 7 years 3 months 1 week ago

On the 9/3/2007 the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan was illegally and unconstitutionally suspended by General Pervez Musharraf on charges of misconduct. This was seen by many as an attempt by the government of pakistan to undermine the authority of the judicial system and to silence critics of the Musharraf regime. In protest, lawyers across Pakistan stayed away from the courts and took to the streets in mass demonstrations against the suspension.

The Chief Justice - Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry - is currently under effective house arrest. The suspension of Chaudhry marks the first time in the history of Pakistan that a Supreme Court Chief justice has been suspended on charges of misuse of power. The court under Chief Justice Chaudhry made rulings against government level corruption which included the Pakistan Steel Mills case. He has also demanded that the regime give details of the locations at which detainees were being held by the Pakistani intelligence services.
