Is it another gift to the EX CEC, like Puncture Sethi and Arsalan Iftikhar and many more unnoticed

Who?...Wha?...Huh?...we just had one sworn in a few months ago. What happened? He quit? Left? Dual citizenship? Got green card approved?

@Kublai, he has reached his retirement age.

Supreme Court needs to restore its credibility and pride by concluding Arsalan Iftikhar corruption case.

@Kublai... read first, not just topic bro.......he is going to retire on 5th of july

The great protectors and promoters of Kuffa'r Anglo-Saxon laws from the 19th century in the Islamic Republic. Yes, we welcome you our new CJ.

@Kublai Parh liya karoo bhai... saaf saaf likha hai kay "Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani will retire on July 5 ..."

Unfortunately I have lost faith in judiciary after seeing what former CJ and his son has done by miss using their powers. My confidence will only restore once I see the former CJ, his son and his allies behind bars.

No CJP will be approved without the consent of Khalifatul Muslimeen Nawaz Sharif.

this system needs to improve, we cant have a musical chair of CJs every year.

I hope this person helps improve pro-Right wing and soft on terrorists impression of top judiciary. Basically, Iftikhar Chaudhary has done such a great damage to the judiciary by following his own likes and dislikes (or by becoming his masters' voice) that entire institution of judiciary is under a huge question mark for a long time to come.

@Shah - If not the 19th century, would you rather go back to the 7th century then?

The judicial system in Pakistan has always been subjected to political influence at the lower level and to the establishment at the higher level. The ideal judicial system could not thrive or blossom in Pakistan on grounds of political allegiance and personal belongingness. It is very nail-biting truthful fact in terms of dispensing justice at par, the transparent and transpicuous procedures, deemed foundation stones of judicial system in any part of the world, have been hampered and tampered by the wealthy and well-to-do powered and privileged cells of Pakistan. The mind-boggling justice seeking exercises commencing from filing of lawsuit until the verdict, revolves around social and moral agonizing and acrimonious experience, striking and reinforcing the belief of power begets privilege and privilege begets justice.

May be all you who are passing comments like Nawas Sharif appoints the CJoP or its a musical chair or that he's being appointed to return a favour, should know that by law the senior most Justice in Supreme Court becomes the CJoP and no one can do anything about that. It always helps to know the law of your land before criticising it. Most of the comments I see are based on ignorance and next to no understanding of prevailing system in the country and yet mostly criticise the system.

They really need to reform this. A CJ, once appointed, should complete a fixed term of say 3 years, just like an army chief. Irrespective of when he's due to retire.

@Shah pj put a sock in it mr. shah. these laws were made by prudent educated men who went on to their lands and improved them constantly. - WE DID NOT. hence the results. you target pickers right wingers have good for nothing arguments

@Fahad after 18th amendment the CJ does not get "appointed" but kind of rolls into the spot based on rule seniority. NS or govt has nothing to do with his appointment.

I just hope this appointment is ONLY on the basis of Merit. PMLN has made us so paranoid that everything looks like a fraud.

@Shah Islamic republic?. Do you mean Pakistan?. What is Islamic about anything in Pakistan. We need to become human beings first.

Ohhhh Hunn Tay Saddi Jan Chad Dayyoo Zalimoo

Welcome Justice Nasirul Mulk as the new Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP). For a change, a pleasant change, let

very naive ending: "Before Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani several prominent Chief Justices have been appointed in Pakistan namely, Irshad Hasan Khan, Bashir Jehangir, Sheikh Riaz Ahmad, Nazim Hussain Siddiqui, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry."

Congratulations Sir! I hope you keep the judiciary impartial and provide a speedy justice to the masses. Amen Please kindly take advantage of your short 13 month duration to overhaul the justice system all over Pakistan from the lower levels to the Supreme Court.

More than 65 years of dirt accumulation! It will take time to clean. Compared to other state Institutions, Judiciary in Pakistan is relatively doing better. We need not complain.

I hope new CJ will introduce far reaching reforms in the judicial system of the country to purge it of nepotism, favouritism and corruption.

No trust anymore.

The Judiciary has been such a let down to the people of Pakistan. They had a strong mandate supported by the people of Pakistan and Chaudhary Iftikhar did nothing to bring judicial reform. We overseas Pakistanis are blessed that we are safe from corruption, lies and a life of sin. I wish all those left behind well.

Pakistan SC is run by consulting firm run by its EX CJ

Lets bring Musharraf back to set things right or Imran. There is no credibility left in this govt and its functionaries.

The appointment of Justice Mr. Nasir ul Mulk is a good step and it will bring a pleasant change. We should however not forget that He is human being and have just one year. There is a limit he can go to change the image, working, and perception of its critics. Hence, it is expected that he will be very much aware of the positive image of the judiciary and will definitely take corrective measures to restore the tarnished image of the Judiciary as an institution. Undoubtedly, the image of the Judiciary as an institution has been very badly damaged mostly because of the decisions coming from the Supreme Court headed by Mr. Iftikhar Chaudry and company. Chaudry and company had been victimising all those who were in bureaucracy. The most oft quoted remarks that used to be heard in Court Room No. 1 were "Gone are the days of Bureaucracy". The same bureaucracy in which his son Mr. Arsalan got inducted without properly appearing in CSS exam. At that very moment, Mr. Chaudry's sense of justice was blind folded. After Mr. Arsalan Iftikhar fiasco, overlooking the doings of judges and their kith and kin has formally become a new norm at all levels of judiciary. To illustrate the establishment of such a norm it is pertinent to mention the case of one District and Sessions Judge D. I. Khan Mohammad Rauf Khan.

@Shah You guys are unable to agree to any workable interpretations of your 7th Century laws. In the mean time world has to continue its work. Anglo laws are not that bad if people implementing them have sincerity of thoughts.

Congrats! I hope you restore our lost faith and trust in SC. CJ Iftikhar has stolen our trust along with other things! I hope you (Nasirul Mulk) bring the dignity and respect for SC back! Because the citizens of Pakistan need that hope!

@Mohammad Iqbal ... its constitutionally binding upon Govt. to appoint the Chief Justice according to the seniority they cannot supersede anyone or bypass anyone ... so it has nothing to do with him being ex-CEC

Only Iftikhar Chaudhary was to stay for prolonged period. For those favors he is still being rewarded. What an idiot of a person he is. Unbelievable only happens in Pakistan. I second M.M. Shrazi that the justice system is always influenced by the political powers and his is the prime reason why we get to deal with unqualified people like Iftikhar Chaudhary. Political connection is he only short cut for such unqualified and undeserving people.

The Said District and Sessions Judge D.I. Khan personally moves around in lower District Court, Civil Judge, Moharrar, and Steno to temper the judicial record and documents and approached the whole District Karak Judiciary to influence the outcome of the civil and criminal proceedings in the Court. The Media, The District Judiciary, The Peshawar High Court, the staff of the Human Rights Cell, Supreme Court of Pakistan are blindly supporting the said District and Sessions Judge. I therefore humbly request Mr. Nasir Ul Mulk, the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take personal notice of the misdoings of the said District and Sessions Judge and remove the menace of corruption and illegalities in Judiciary.

@Ahmed: You have hit the nail on its head.

We welcome him in the hope that he shall handle the issues of the nation rather effectively and shall not allow the Government to cause hike in the prices for the poor to survive

@AJamal Don't forget Arsalan's father!, I don't think Arsalan earned a billion dollars on his own.

@Khalid We are not paranoid!, everything that flows from Raiwind is a fraud. The Wrong brothers have been cultivating the judiciary (with poison weeds) for decades.
