    I was reading Ayaz Amir’s column in Dawn today and he highlighted a very key point. He said, this decision today, if comes in favor of the Army, will put a big question mark on the Pakistani Dream itself! For what reason did we fought for a seperate homeland? So that our Army and Civil bureaucracy can rule it?

    May Allah help us.

    Let me guess who will be Justice Munir and who will be Justice A. R. Carnilius.
    1. Bhagwan Das — Carnilius
    2. Javaid Iqbal — Munir
    3. Hameed Dogar — Munir
    4. Sardar Raza — Carnilius
    5. Falak Sher — Carnilius
    6. Nawaz Abbasi — Munir
    7. Faqir Khohar — Munir
    8. Javaid Butter — Munir
    9. Shakir Jan — Carnilius / Munir

    So the verdict will be in favor of General with 6-3 or 5-4.
    There is a chance that verdict comes in favor General with 9-0.

    @everyone!

    Most of you will agree with me when I say that this is an expected outcome. I hope that most of you will also agree that “it was not the work of SC to determine whether mushi can stand for election or not. It is the work of election commission”. I think that was the main influence for the decision. I don’t blame SC or any judge for this decision because they are under extreme pressure for deciding what should actually be decided by some other governing body.

    May Allah SWT protect Pakistan, Khuda nay aaj tak us Qom ki haalat nahin badli naa ho jis ko khiyal khud aap apni haalata kay badalnay kaa!!

    We all have to think why Pakistan is in this state today? Its not only Mush or BB or any one ,it is us who are the problem, we can not expect that revolution can come like this, there has to be struggle, sacrifice, commitment, steadfastness. There has to be love of Allah and love of Rasool Allah Sallallaho alahi wassalim in our hearts!!
    May Allah SWT give us strength and wisdom, and may He show us the right path, may we will be able to differentiate between dost and dushman.
    I still remember when Mush came in power, and when he supported US for invading afghanistan, ppl of Pakistan, educated so called moderate muslims were really glad that he saved the country, now, they are sumun bukmun.

    My heart was saying one thing and the mind was saying something else when I slept last night. My mind was right. The judges were compromised and the government had 4 months to do it.
    When I looked at the bench when it was constituted in the begining, I checked how many judges from the July 20 verdict were in this bench and I think the answer was 3. The inclusion of the judges who were taking oath of CJP hastily and all the dissenting judges in the July 20 judgement were included in this bench.

    It is a sad day. The collective depression and pessimism this will cause in Pakistan and Pakistanis is immeasurable. I am ashamed today to be a Pakistani. I can’t face the world anymore. For Pakistanis living abroad, this is such a huge slap on their faces. FOr people living in the motherland, well the news is that might is still right.

    Army rules. Justice Munir rules. Zia reincarnate rules. Injustice rules. Absurdity rules. Gun rules.

    How Pakistan will survive the next 5 years, I shudder to think.

    I think this is the last time I will visit PK-Politics, because now it really doesn’t matter.

    There is now no politics in Pakistan. PML-Q will win. MQM will win. Lotas will win. People will not come out to vote but still farishtas will vote them to power.

    God help this nation.

    I always knew about this .. I am very disturbed why Falek Sher became Munir, there was a news yesterday that one of the judge is being harrased by the government so he might be that judge. There is a good chance that he was Shakir Jaan and he did not scumb to the presssure and may be both. The rest of the judges have the history and they were always on the Army side. I am still happy that the pro and anti judges are now come in the front.

    I had already a clear mind that SC will only keep on giving minor decisions like decision of Nawaz Shareef, Bail of Jawaid Hashmi and other decision for other case just to restore credibility to some extent before giving decision in favour of musharraf so that critics can not say supreme court isn’t free. Whole thing was a biggest Stage Drama in the history of Pakistan. ANOTHER BLACK DAY in our History.

    IS GOVT TRYING TO INFLUENCE SC JUDGES?

    By Ansar Abbasi

    http://www.thenews.com.pk/top_story_detail.asp?Id=10323

    ISLAMABAD: The government is allegedly trying to influence the nine-member Supreme Court bench, hearing the petitions challenging the dual offices held by the President, through behind-the-scene intimidation of some of the honourable judges and their families.

    However, Attorney General Justice (retd) Malik Qayum has denied that any pressure is being exerted on the judges of the Supreme Court. “Somebody might have some sort of misunderstanding,” Qayyum said, adding the executive’s pressure on the judiciary was a thing of the past.

    A family member of one of the judges, claimed to have been facing extreme pressure, shared with this correspondent the tale of the alleged unending pressure that the family is facing to make the honourable judge, who is a member of the nine-member bench, fall into line with the government.

    “You can never think of what they are doing to us,” the family member of the honourable senior judge of the Supreme Court said, adding that the situation had gone to an extent that the government was sending officials even to the judges to persuade them to support the government in these petitions.

    According to another member of the same family, the messenger who brought the government’s message seemed to be over-enthusiastic, showing that he was more loyal than the king.

    Close relatives of the judges are being approached and told that in case the decision of the Supreme Court does not meet the government’s expectations, the country might see another martial law. According to the source, they are also being warned that it is hard to fight with the government and there are precedents of un-ceremonial removal of judges.

    Both the honourable judge and his family, the source claimed, were undeterred and clearly told the messenger that they would not commit anything and would only uphold the merit and the rule of law no matter what price they had to pay.

    During one of his contacts, according to the family member of the honourable judge, the messenger had also referred to the murder case of additional registrar of the Supreme Court Hammad Raza. “You cannot believe what they are doing to us,” the member said, adding that the messenger had also claimed to have developed contacts with some other honourable members of the bench.

    The messenger’s name, designation, and contact number have also been shared with The News but these details are not being published to protect the source. The messenger was also said to be contemptuous while making some predictions.

    Disturbed with these contacts, a member of the concerned judge’s family also contacted a senior government authority but got a disappointing response.Meanwhile, the Attorney General denied that the government was engaged in any such activity. “Let me assure you that there is no such thing,” he said, adding that had there been any such thing, then all the recent decisions would not have gone against the government.

    He admitted that the judges were pressurized in the past but that was not the case anymore. He said most of the judges of the Supreme Court were personally known to him though he did not meet them. This is only to ensure that no one should have doubt of any sort, he said.

    In the post-March 9 scenario and during the hearing of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry’s petition by the 13-member court, there were reports of government agencies trying to influence the judges to “seek accommodation” for the government. However, no such tactic worked as proved by the landmark Supreme Court decision of July 20.

    it is a sad day but by no means a day to quit….
    What is said about Islam must be said about pakistan as well,,,Islam zinda hota hai her karbala kai baad…
    to win democracy is not an event; it is a process…we have lost a battle not the war…
    yes, this decision is disappointing but it is also revealing and is one more zarb on the exoploited and the common man…
    there will come a time that the pressure will become unbearable and it will explode…that is what happened in france and led to the French Revolution…
    It is not the time to give up, not a time to close this website, not a time to quit pakistan…it is a time a start all over again and see it as a process in the march towards self-determination…
    remember, Pakistan was created 90 years after 1857…

    After the verdict of SC, opposition should defer their decision to resign from national and provincial assemblies and vote for Justice Wajhi for president.

    I pray Justice Wajih or Makhdoom Amin Faheem and their think tanks should nominate either one for president election to get rid of Mush and Co.

    Together they can change the fate of PKPOLITICS!

    @tipu agreed…

    “Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.�

    it is only a weak person who would feel disheartened…
    fine you guys can feel that way but i am great full that at least the lawyers feel otherwise…because it is easy to feel despondent and sit back and say this is the end…
    we should remember and praise the three judges…
    for all those who think musharraf can now rule for 5ys….no sir, only the petition has been dismissed…no right to run for president is given….
    so for all those ranting about doomsday…what have you guys done to promote democracy in Pakistan except tuning in every hour to check new videos…i too have done the same, so the least i can do is be optimistic and give my support to pro-democratic forces…
    besides it is only the brave who stay in battle and fight and the coward who run when they see signs of defeat….
