Aren’t events unfolding give rise to fear that Pakistan has lost chance of ever having an impartial judiciary? [Issue

When judicial officers are appointed by bureaucrats and politicians who all have a vested interest of protecting their own powerful and financially lucrative positions, it is not possible to have an independent judiciary. In an Islamic republic there should be a spiritual leader the same as Iran. The spiritual leader should be responsible party for appointing judges and court officials. The reason being that Shariat of Allah should be the law of the land and as in Iran the Ayatollah who is spiritual leader is one of the most knowledgeable in matters of Islamic Fiqr. In Pakistan all the judges are either appointed on political whims or consider the right to dispense justice as the right of those who cling to the robes of the courts as a lizard clings to a ceiling. Muslims are the people to whom Allah has granted the Quran and shariat as the means of dispensing justice then if this is adhered to, impartiality in justice will be done and would be seen done. I advocate true Shariat not the shariat of the political mullahs and the molvis who run a tyrannical foreign funded organisation like the Taliban.

Pakistan ranks world most corrupt and dangerous country and any judiciary system in Pakistan cannot be impartial because any powerful man in Pakistan has full power to intervene in judiciary system and get result in his favor by all means. Our judges, lawyers also became corrupt and bribery is most common in all department of judiciary and government level. What we need to do to bring back judiciary system free of any governmental interference or powerful man, we need to arrest most corrupt people from Pakistan that included politicians, mullahs, army general/officers, police officers, and seize their bank account and property, this is the only solutions to make Pakistan a better country in the world and to make judiciary system free of any interference.

I do accept the current ruling of Supreme Court, in favour of Sharif brothers. However, I congratulate them. We may have a real democracy that can get us out of the current situation, when the survival of Pakistan is at stake. We are at the same stage, when Pakistan got the independence. Every Pakistanis have responsibilities to save Pakistan, when Hindus, Christians and Jews have got together to destroy the Muslim countries.

As long as the elite get their way in Pakistan, the judiciary does not stand a chance of being impartial. The events that have unfolded in the Malakand area point towards a serious breakdown in law and order enforcement. The "elite" are above law in this country and they do not realize that one day they can get caught in the disarray and disorder caused through resulting anarchy. Their assets abroad and their children abroad they think that deterioration of law and order is not going to affect them. In fact, they take advantage of the lawlessness that exists in Pakistan. Bribery corruption and undermining authority is rife in Pakistani culture. At present, Pakistanis are paying a very heavy price for this very weakness in our system. I wish people in high places would understand that weak judiciary means weak institutions and that leads to a weak and vulnerable Pakistan. And without Pakistan there will be no Pakistani. There are serious lessons to be learned from the situation in the northern areas. The only way we can overcome this crisis is for the authorities to impose a just law and order and fight tooth and nail to make sure that the security of this land of ours is not compromised ever again.

We are all Pakistanis and for heaven sake don’t implicate Punjab in every disease of this impoverished and unfortunate country. It will take us nowhere. Unless the roots of true democracy are strengthened in Pakistan, no democratic institution will survive including the judiciary. We`ve fleet of greedy, selfish, blood suckers leaders in our fold who will never allow any independence of judiciary in our country. Like bubbles on the hot milk, some time we see some positive signs of independence, but these signs are attached to some many strings, which take us back to level one.
Pakistan today is at the crossroad of its survival. All of us need to put our heads together and make sure that we come forward to save this God given land of pure. Our leaders will take us nowhere. May Allah save Pakistan and may Allah guide us to a straight path and may Allah protect us from the present day rulers who are greedy, selfish and worst blood- suckers of today.

Judiciary in Pakistan has since long been playing second fiddle to the predominant Punjab civil and military bureaucracy, which continued to rule unchallenged and unparalleled by ruthless silencing of all voices of dissents, especially in the smaller provinces. Of late, the media surge in Pakistan saw this civil-military gauntlet gradually loosening and the Punjab neo-colonists masterminds got worried over the imminent danger of losing all, especially in the backdrops of militants advance in the north of Pakistan, the Balochs making some significant headway in their struggle for their rights, while the Sindhi nationalist following the suits started showing their muscles.
The lawyers’ power suddenly emerging and later successfully carrying out the judicial movement, which finally ended in a judicial coup and thereafter, throwing the army in the quagmire of an endless war are seen by many a well-thought plan of replacing the worn out tool of exploitation with that of the latest weapon built with the materials of sloganeering on supremacy of judiciary. This was amply proved by subsequent unfolding of events that saw selective justice quickly dispensed to the chosen few, while the burning issues that kept the common men suffering all the heats remain criminally ignored.
The new game plan shows that the ailing people of Balochistan and Sidh provinces would at least in near future be spared of the army operation, while the newly blown up sacrosanct judiciary would be given the task of dispensing required doses of medicines, which could constantly keep them in a state of insomnia and divested of the powers of struggling against hegemonic Punjab elites.
