Non PCO judges decide to challenge dismissal


ISLAMABAD: The judges dismissed after Supreme Court’s decision have decided to file a review petition and contacted with senior lawyers for the preparation of petition.

The sources said petition raise the points that PCO judges issue was under trial whereas newly appointed judges were fired on the basis that they were appointed by the recommendations of Justice Dogar.

Supreme Court’s verdict provided guard to administrative and financial decisions of Justice Dogar. Under the same decision, Supreme Court 5, Lahore High court 4, Chief Justice of Peshawar High Court, Sindh High Court 2 and judge of Sharia court are also PCO judges and they have been given protection in the decision and made discrimination by dismissing 76 judges. They were also appointed according to Justice Dogar’s administrative decision. Neither any notice has been served to dismiss judges nor hearing in a court was done.

The petition also raises the point that present Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry also took the oath under PCO.
