Let us dicuss with out using offensive language and demeaning other personalities that may the intellectulal terriorisim .
.29 judges supreme court is the solution or the problem .
. if it is a problem and would not contribute to giving real justice to have nots then what should we do as a pakistani
.A ,as the people who are elected by the people are the ones who has the right to decide if they decide so which is quite possible then we should accept the decision and move on except for condeming and fillign up forums with our distatisfaction and then move on
B .what are the other options to resist this keeping in view the resistors’ to change fear mongering of Martial Law .Pervez Musharaf did not impose martial due to any movement

just imagine how a full bench would look like: 29 judges!! on all sensitive issues, full bench is the only viable solution….ch justice cannot be put in a position to choose judges selectively in such issues. US supreme court has 9 judges.

destroy the judiciary to make it independent.
Makes sense to me!

if number of judges are increased n Doger n company are retained then it will be a mess in the supreme court regarding the formation of the benches on the sensitve issues of national intrest and there will be clear divide among the two group of the judges.And the main thing is that it leave the window for the judges to take oath under the PCO if right now without any prejudice we respect the deposed judges i think it can save us to occur such situation in future.i m sure if AZ to save his NRO do this n im sure he will then u are going to open the flood gate for pco,s judges time to come

Hi Everybody,
Its the first time I am writing here. I’ve been regular visitor of this site for over 10 months though.
I am sometimes astonished to see whats going on. Its actually mind boggling. NS is supporting AAZ, NS and APDM have same views, AAZ has a deal with Mush, APDM is fully against Mush, NS is fully agaisnt Mush, AAZ is superficially against Mush, APDM is fully against AAZ, AAZ is against APDM.
It seems sort of big drama going on. Is it possible that AAZ and NS have agreed to each other and reached a consensus on how to defeat both Mush and APDM. They both will let down their rivals in a tactical way. AAZ has his hands tied because of a deal, so NS is fully attacking Mush as is APDM. APDM on full attack at AAZ but NS is with APDM to keep them soft as well by giving an impression that one partner of the coalition is with them. An interesting character in all this is Aitzaz Ahsan. He is a friend of all, AAZ, NS and APDM. Moreover he is also a leader of a very vibrant force lawyers community. As a result NS and AAZ are benefitting each other by using or misusing every force on the political horizon. They meet secretly and have one on one meeting. ultimately Mush will go and APDM will fail even further ( which is at least at this time highly demoralised, though not because of their unprincipled stand but by virtue of unseen and unexpected unfolding of events ). This way we will have both these rivals cum friends rule our country for the next several years.

If this happens, it will be a real blow to any hope of justice and democracy, or hope of the New Pakistan that was emerging.
But Ansaar Abbasi has outlined the most painful fact in the whole saga: that the concerned judges are themselves buckling. If that’s the case, well, there’s nothing to be done, no matter what you and I say. How do you fight for someone’s cause when they’ve abandoned it themselves?
But the important question is this:. What is making them buckle? Is it financial pressure? Or is it something else? They’ve put a pretty heroic struggle so far, and we need to know WHAT is proving the last straw for the deposed judges. If it is something like financial pressure, the people of Pakistan will deliver, as thier principled stand is now the fundamental pillar of the people’s struggle against the tradition of injustice and despotic rule.
