Aitzaz for
restoration of judges through executive order
By Mona Khan
ISLAMABAD—President Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) Barrister
Aitzaz Ahsan has demanded the restoration of the judges through the
executive order.
Talking to media men here on Tuesday in front of the residence of
deposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chudhary, the President SCBA
said that there is no constitutional status of any resolution to be
tabled in the National Assembly regarding the restoration of the judges.
He said that we have given timeframe of 30 days for the restoration of
the judges but we do not want to inflict extra pressure on new
Government.
Terming all the steps taken by President Pervez Musharraf
unconstitutional, the President SCBA said that he (Musharraf) has lost
three chances of quitting on July 20, November 3 and February 18.
The Parliament would take the decision regarding the impeachment of
President Musharraf and implementation of Article 6, added President
SCBA.
Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan said that an application was filed against
Islamabad Administration against the detention of deposed Chief Justice,
his children and other judges but no attention was given to it.
We have decided to file petition before the court of the session judge
aiming to register FIR against the Islamabad Administration and punitive
damage cases would also be filed.
He said that the deposed Chief Justice would address the Bar
Associations across the country and the programme in this regard is
being finalized. |
