Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry


Mr.Justice!

you have just get the responsibility of suo moto action. After getting suo moto, no action is taken or no further progress in that cases. 

You just give the Lolly Pop of justice in the mouth of Nation.

And nation becomes silent after sucking it...!
But history is witness; whenever you take any suo moto, no result found till now of any case..!
You are also the part of this dirty politics in which your role is like empire/coach or a circus joker who work to make silent the crowd by showing his tricks....!
No more...!
