Seems like the supreme court judges don't qualify for their posts either!
Why his petition be picked out of turn over mine? Are Ch. Nisar and the likes of him VIPs in the eyes of the court? Why some stooges are given preferential treatment, while my case drags on for years? I am outraged by this continued and blatant disregard and mockery of the basic rights of the ordinary people like me.
