Nobody will dare to take extra judicial step: CJ

Chief Justice of Supreme Court Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry has said that nobody will dare to take extra judicial step in the country and there only will be rule of law. Speaking at a ceremony on Friday, the CJ said that those who were speculating about such extra judicial steps have narrow thinking and they do so for their own interests. “We will not let any opportunist to take over and no judge will take oath against Constitution,” he added. Justice Chaudhry said that lawyers rendered great sacrifices for the independence of the judiciary. “We have proved by our actions as to how there will be supremacy of law,” he added. He said judges pledged that no one will take oath against the Constitution. The CJ said that people trust had increased on the judiciary after its independence.
