Nisar Ahmed | 13 years ago | Reply Independent judiciary is the only way out to get the nation out of the prevailing chaos.... Kudos to Justice Chudhary who has been discharging his legal as well as the moral duty so graciously and one hopes that this good work on his behalf would continue in future... Secondly I would like to suggest the CJ that the highest judiciary should also look into the unabated price hike that has rendered the lives of poor Pakistanis miserable....it seems that there is rule of Jungle in the country, there is no check and balance whatsoever, there is no limit...the profiters, hoarders are unfortunately out to suck the blood of innocent poor civilians who are absolutely hapless. Please take effective cognizance of the matter so that poor population comprising more than 70% of total population of the country could be able to maintain their livelihood.
