Coalition opts for rescheduling of reinstatement of Judiciary
By Asim Hussain

ISLAMABAD—Some members of the ruling coalition have been known to have "opted" (suggesting) for a July deadline for the much "vociferously promised reinstatement of judiciary".
They have also known to stress for a simultaneous timing of reinstatement of judiciary and bringing forth the promised constitutional package.
Sources have informed that the constitutional package opts for a shorter term and limited authority for Chief Justice, and also intends to retire the reinstated judges at the end of their tenures.
Sources have also informed that efforts were underway to float the resolution for reinstatement for Judiciary, which falls in May 2008 period, preferably in a N.A session falling before the forthcoming budgetary session, in order to allow room for debate on budgetary concerns and problems being faced by masses during budget; while the issue of reinstatement for Judiciary should be deliberated afterwards (the budget session) with a relaxed and easy mind.
Sources have claimed that the reinstatement of Judiciary has become a matter of obsession and ego for PML (N), while some members of PML (N) have also known to be supporting the "extended rescheduling"; with Sharif Brethren steadfast and resolute on their commitment for reinstatement of Judiciary, preceding any further talks and deal on the constitutional package.
It is pertinent to note that a 7-member committee, comprising of Khawaja Asif, Sherry Rehman, Chaudhry Nisar, Ishaq Dar, Rehman Malik, and senator Raza Rabbani and headed by law minister Farooq. H. Naik is already busy in working out modalities for reinstatement of Judiciary, but is so far inconclusive.
