JC be left alone

Published April 21, 2015

NOW that the Judicial Commission (JC) has been set up, which contains none other than the sitting Chief Justice of Pakistan and two judges of the Supreme Court, it would be good if they are allowed to work in peace.

It is contempt of court to influence the court/JC directly or indirectly. Able lawyers will show their muscles and JC members are no novices to legal knowledge.

Let them do their job. I also urge political leaders to desist from passing remarks on rigging, as well as on the judges.
