High Court directs Pakistan government to place former top judge at par with the prime minister

In a controversial order on Wednesday, Islamabad High Court directed the government to immediately provide a bullet proof car to former chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary. The judgment authored by IHC Justice Shaukat Siddiqui said the former chief justice should be provided security on a par with former prime ministers. The security detail includes a bullet-proof car and a motorcade of dozens of cars including an ambulance. This order is Chaudhary-specific and no other former top judge would be entitled to it. Previously, the court had threatened that if judge Chaudhary was not provided the desired security, the court would order to withdraw security vehicles provided to all other public functionaries.

Justice Chaudhary was the most controversial top-judge in Pakistan’s history. Low on intellect and high on lust for power and vindictiveness, he had ordered to withdraw security from former president and prime minister, the facility he now himself is requesting.
