Judicial conscience

Author: Daily Times

Sir: Our chequered judicial history reveals that it is the inner conscience of men and not their declared religion which determines their role as judges. Men like Justice Cornelius, Justice Bhaghwandas, Justice Shakirullah Jan, Justice Raza Khan, Justice Wajihuddin and Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry have earned the respect and admiration of people because they chose to listen to their inner conscience as others succumbed to pressure. We have recently witnessed the disappointing verdict from the superior judiciary on Musharraf’s candidacy, which shows that despite the stellar example set by the abovementioned judges, the Doctrine of Necessity lives on.
