“Historic”, we are being told — and
told without end — is what the judgment of their Supreme Court lordships
is. General (r) Pervez Musharraf’s Nov 3, 2007, action has been
declared “unconstitutional” and “civil society” is ecstatic, some of our
wilder drumbeaters assuring us that the doors on military
interventionism have been closed forever. Ah, if wishes were horses. The
Supreme Court judgment not so much revises history as cuts it up,
wrapping it in neat packages. For it declares only one action of
Musharraf’s unconstitutional — his Nov 3 Emergency, which came at the

HYDERABAD:
Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President Asma Jehangir condemned
the apex court's decision to revoke the status of PCO judges. "Such
'panchayti' judgments are not acceptable," Asma said, while addressing
lawyers at the Hyderabad district bar. Terming the order a 'third degree
treatment' in police parlance, she equated weapons used for torturing
detainees by the police with the judges' pens. "This pen is not for
settling your personal rivalries," she said in reference of the Supreme
Court judgement authored by the chief justice. She reminded the chief
justice of the promises made to the bar after he was deposed. Asma also
criticised Parliament and termed democracy "a change of faces" and
accused generals of calling the shots. "Our chequered history testifies
that their decisions have been a failure." Asma questioned if judges are
appointed on merit. According to her, judges from minority communities
are also being discriminated against. REFERENCE: PCO judges: Asma hits
