Sultan Ahmed | 14 years ago | Reply Having seen this judgment i come to the conclusion that independent judiciary like in Pakistan under the able leadership of honorable chief justice must be every country of the world. Independent judiciary is a great custodian of fundamental rights of the citizen and this judgment has made a unique example in the history of law.
