Judicial Crisis in Pakistan

Judicial Crises in Pakistan :Major®Khalid Nasr We had been hearing that “haste makes waste”. Our supreme judiciary had practiced this proverb last year. It is obvious that our Supreme Court had been continuously taking decisions and actions against the Administrative Block. Senior officials had been humiliated in the courts and Musharaf had been the main target of all judicial decisions and actions. The notification of Presidential Election was delayed without any sound reason. The entire nation had been placed in a state of uncertainty. President Musharaf had been adopting the policy of wait and see but judiciary was in a great hurry for taking anti-Musharaf decisions. A process for the restoration of civilian –led democracy has already started .I t is very unfortunate for Pakistan that it is still the continuity of Musharaf Regime.The radical decision of proclamation of emergency Pervaiz Musharaf was claimed to be result of growing terrorism by militants and high handedness of Judiciary. What ever be the background, Musharaf had to face the criticism both from domestic and international sectors. The most important issue for Musharaf was to restore functioning of the superior courts and get their full support for his actions. He had to use maximum Armed Forces to minimize the incidents of violence and terrorism through out the country. USA and UK continued their support to Musharaf; although some financial aid had been decreased . .Musharaf would be very effective in his war against terrorism with the US support. The journey towards restoration of civilian led democracy has halted for an indefinite period.I am now sensing the repetetion of Ayub—Yahya scenario. God bless Pakistan.
