The judge should be given compassionate leave to ensure that no one influences the course of Justice. This way the kidnappers cant dictate the way a judge makes a ruling on cases. When the son is found the judge should be allowed to return. Pakistan need to make an example of citizens taking the law into their own hands. This could actually be a turning point in the law and order of Pakistan.

Results of all bad policies adopted. There are no good terrorists. Even VVIP persons like PM and CJ's family don't have security, and who is responsible for common people?

Oh boy, Some think, they're going to turn the whole city upside down looking for that very very important person. What about ordinary persons when they disappear, do they get the same efforts for their recovery, or they're not important at all?
