“Arsalan will get the same justice that common people receive. Don’t make him a VIP, he’s a don,” Riaz said while speaking to the media after appearing before the Suddle commission tasked to probe the Arsalan-Riaz saga.
Riaz reaffirmed that he does not have faith in the one-man commission, as Shoaib Suddle had family relations with Arsalan. “I want to request the Supreme Court to treat everyone equally,” he said while referring to other cases in which the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and National Accountability Bureau (NAB) were tasked to probe, while his case was handed to the “5-star” Suddle commission.
“There’s a deal going on as well for the extension in Suddle’s job so no one can challenge his decisions,” he added.
Riaz’s counsel Zahid Bukhari told the media that he has submitted a written complain to the commission regarding its eligibility. “We have maintained that the constitution of the commission was unlawful and we have challenged it too in the Supreme Court in form of a review, but the review is still pending.”
He said that all notices sent by the commission to his client were ignored as they do not believe that the commission can investigate independently.
“On October 5, the life of the commission ended and it died. The Supreme Court revived it on November 6, so all investigations that the commission carried out within this time period is unlawful,” Bukhari maintained calling any commission a “temporary institution”.

CJ should set an example by appointing an impartial commission including some Scotland Yard investigators. Supreme Court is the only honourable and respected institution which must be saved from controversies.
well it seems that his dobt is true up to some extent because till yet he did't get any compensation on any claim made agaianst arslan while arslan's doubts have already been addressed in a quick maaner, there is some truth in malik riaz's statement against him and his doubt could be investigated in SC want to solve this case on merit. Arslan's involvement in this case as chief justice's son is a big issue and that could be doubted or biased at any stage iof investigation or influenced by any one. Malik Riaz's dopubts should not be ignored at all but investigation must be carried out to clarify them.
What a nation! did anyone answer what cj's family was doing in London with his son without knowing where the millions came from? Plus, who gets to pocket those 400 million rupees or has the CJ ordered his son to return it? His son is still seen in ISB in his 7-series - what a country!
one friend has land which no sensible person d buy for 1 million a kanal. He asked his friend to sell it for half the price of CDA and everyone was fooled and no one objected to extreme profit.
@Pakistan Politics: The problem is that he has given a Judgement & not given a Judgement. Most of the Judgements reserved . What is the use.Memo Gate postponed till January. Asghar Khan case no outcome. .

Whenever the CJ takes a stance against Establishment (Military + ISI), there is severe mud-slinging, be that when "Missing persons case" raised in February/March 2007 & in May 2012 or even when the hearing of Establishment (Military + ISI)'s excesses in Oct/November 2012 concludes!!! CJ has always been braving these conspiracy traps, and will repel all of them InshaAllah.
CJ has to face Gilani now ...
this gentleman funded PTI for pindi jalsa please. @Pakistan Politics:
@Uza Syed:
May I safely assume that our judiciary has been infiltrated by some kind of a ‘mafia family’ ?
Based on what? Your wild presumptions? No, you may NOT assume that!
This fraudster also financed Imran Khan's Lahore rally on Pak Army's request.
Suspecting a deal between PPP and PML N, one trying to save other from Asghar khan case verdict and one trying to save other from Memo scandal case, Malik Riaz is just a pawn and target is Judiciary for both PPP and PML N
So this man comes out of nowhere to bash Chief Justice when he has given a historical judgment over Asghar khan case and handling memo/IB scandal
I don't know arsalan.if he is guity kill him i,ve no problem but malik riaz is a land grabber and yet getting coverage in media. Both arsalan and M. Riaz don't deserve media coverage. For us as a nation morality and honesty doesn't matter? Pakistan need japanese mothers who should give us honest generation. Arsalan is a don and you mr. riaz?
The CJ should have resigned much earlier. The case is dragging. It shows that the Judiciary not interested in the Truth. No Moral grounds to stay on. No one is Indespensible.
Malik Riaz fighting the case gracefully
Turf war between Mafias...
Why people attach indepndent judiciary with CJ's name? Arent there any other Judges in this country? By principle the CJ must resign as it has been proved that the game is in hands of Supreme court.
Why Media not playing with Arsalan name, may be afraid
If there is any politician Son , Media play evey day, every channel, every TV programme
Cold war of ‘mafias’, a don blaming another don and who’s suffering poor people of Pakistan, one day all these dons will meet with their match.
Pot calling kettle black? What a pathetic ugly joke! Too bad the chattering classes are so impressed by his suburban enclaves, everyone who was kicked of their lands to make way for his developments continue to run pillar to post to get compensation. Worse still, despite court orders both he and his son still evade arrest. With the Army in his pocked, billions recievced from DHA, we might as well fess up to the fact that he literally owns the country.
Your job is to dig earth for construction you are diging up graves that doesn't please many.
Vienna,November 13,2012 The key case as far as judiciary is concerned. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, does not give up a chance to dictate terms to the other members of the Troika Establishment. If the President is under suspicion and investigation, the former head of the government is a proclaimed offender,the reinstated Chief Justice is burdened by the hidden economic powers of the Armed Forces business "managed" by his son.This is not a closed power circuit but the known Pakistani Establishment. These openly tainted troika have to get the co-operation of all divided elements of other Pakistani Federal population of different identities including Balochistan territories.

A "Don" implies some kind of mafia culture prevailing around here, a don just does not fall from sky, he has a family behind it and a family head. Protections are guaranteed and all the state mavhinery is bribed to cover for the wrongs done by a 'Don'. What are we talking about here? May I safely assume that our judiciary has been infilterated by some kind of a 'mafia family' ?
