Pakistan court considers ousted judge?s argument
The Pakistani Supreme Court decided yesterday to consider a challenge filed by the country?s suspended top judge to government accusations of misconduct against him.
?Technically, the main hurdle has been crossed,? said Tariq Mehmood, a lawyer for suspended Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry.
President Pervez Musharraf?s move to dismiss Chaudhry on accusations of misconduct on March 9 sparked protests by lawyers and the opposition that have turned into a broad campaign for the restoration of democracy.
It is the most serious challenge to Musharraf?s authority since he seized power in a 1999 coup, and threatens stability in a nuclear-armed country on the front line of a global anti-terrorism campaign.
