ISLAMABAD, March 28 — Pakistan will set up an inquiry commission to investigate accusations by six High Court judges of interference and intimidation by the country’s powerful...
The powerful army plays an oversized role in making and breaking governments in Pakistan. The country has been ruled by military regimes for almost half its history since independence from Britain in 1947. Khan and elder Sharif both have alleged that they were ousted by the military after they fell out with the generals.
Their meeting took place after a letter written by six judges of the Islamabad High Court was sent to Isa’s office. It alleged that the country’s top spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence , had been intimidating them to seek favourable decisions in political cases.
It said the six judges had brought such cases in their chief’s knowledge and also met the then chief justice of Pakistan to “share their concerns regarding efforts of ISI operatives to affect judicial outcomes”.They said the interference continued despite their chief assuring them that he had taken up the matter with the ISI head, who gave his word that there would not be any such interference, the letter said.
