i cant understand india always raised issue of terrorism in PAKISAN and its exports but every one here knows that majority of the office bearers of international council of jurists are from INDIA and they gave award to the biggest terrorist SUPPORTER in pakistan...STRANGE...!!!
@Realistic: Oscar was given on an attempt to create awareness about a bad thing happening here.
cj is really a great man.we all are proud of him
this is not international award iftikar chaudhry is vice president of this south asian organisation ,why media is give so much coverage to this fake man iftikar cahudhry
@Ashraf Pasha: CJ is a honet man and trying to apply the law equally.that is why he got this award. You should congratulate him rather labelling him with something he does not qualify.
CJ has proved he is for Justice not for Anarchy, Zadari and Galani are not the Law. Law is Law and Law is equal for everybody. .
CJ is loosing his credability due one sided decisions on the basis of personal likings & disliking. He has to provide the justice accross the board to erase the dirt from the face of drakolas of powerfull political & non political intitutions to build the trust among masses as the past history of juduciary is questionable.
Umer, May I ask why you did not publish the full list of office bearers!! Anyways it is like beat India a match in India getting Man of the Match, I guess something to be proud of
what has the chaudhry done to earn this award? from 14th feb to 26th of march - a case of contempt of court against premier was all about wasting time and resources and snatching of the justice from those who deserved more and urgently than the premier. period!

well deserved award for freeing all the terrorist. . . .!!!!
What about our Mullahs who also issue similar fatwas? There must be an award for Best Legal Jestor!
This PCO CJ who has not decided one singel case against any action of generals, ISI, extremists or the protectors of OBL would be awarded. However, at the same time there would be people protesting against the award and speakers telling the truth. The blind supporters of establishment and haters of PPP and democracy forget that there are some in Pakistan who serve the people without big salaries, extensions and perks. The shining example is Mr. and Mrs. Edhi.
he deserve this award and he shud be given extension as well

...and they are very happy with the "performance" of Chaudhary.
For what?
I don't know if they are blind as they can't see his acquitting and freeing the SSP and LeJ terrorists such as Malik Ishaq (killer of more than 60-70 Shias) and several of his affiliates. Moreover his kinship and close association with MPA and Punjab law minister Rana Sanaullah (moral and financial supporter of Shia killers and terrorists of Sipah-e-Sahab Pakistan and Lashkar-e-Jhangwi)..
@Imran Mohammad: corruption, bad governance, incompetency, lies, everything is conspiracy against PPP
What a great honour for CJ and Pakistan, who says that Pakistan does not have intelligent, capable and honest peopel, the CJ has made all of us proud specially the Baluchis to be born in Pakisan.My congratulaions to you Sir.
You rock Mr CJ.
Judiciary is in line to get the international awards similar to rest of institutions/personnel of our country. World has acknowledged the new pillar of power in pakistan for the sake of their intrest & would offer more awards & scholarships for the judiciary.
Take that asma jahangir!
The CJ and Imran Khan are the only two people in the country talking sense and acting on it
They does reward us but not for good things done for this country but bad ones. OSCAR award was also given on the movie against Pakistan, let the same lady and CJ do more hard work than that but both cannot get the nominations even. Wake up Pakistan.
Alf Mabrook !
Well deserved reward...

CJ is getting Int'l Juristic award that is what PPP won't like it.
WOW| Way to go CJ!!!
That's an international conspiracy against democratic government of PPP :->
A well deserved honour for the Chief Justice!
