Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry retired as Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of Pakistan on 11th December, 2013. Much has
been said and written about him. So I shall just point out what has been left
out by others.
Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and his fellow judges of
the Supreme Court of Pakistan revolutionized Pakistani judiciary by shunning
precedents of English case law and trying to find clues in the Pakistani
Constitution and precedents in records of edicts and fatwas of Islamic scholars,
statesmen and judges. It is not surprising that the anglophile section of the
Pakistani legal and judicial circles hate Retired Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry and
his colleagues.
