A shifty lawyer is usually difficult to pin down with arguments, no matter how rational; he would simply go in the frivolous diatribe mode to defend himself. When petitioner Hamid Maghfoor alleged that Attorney General Latif Khosa had taken Rs3 million from him to 'fix his case in the court of a 'favourable judge, Mr Khosa, instead of contesting the allegation, blamed the CJP for having orchestrated his removal. Mr Khosa has lamented that the CJP should have called him in his chamber to discuss the matter instead of treating him like a common accused. Frankly, I have nothing against Khosa. In fact Ive loved his histrionics at different stages of the movement for restoration of judiciary even though I had often wondered which side he was on? Was he for the restoration of suspended judges or was he a thorn in their side, Khosa did not let anyone on the secret. Now, finally, he is in the dumps. He met the President to pour out his grievances instead of meeting the Prime Minister who had deposed him. Khosa also asserted that he was rich in his own right and charged hundreds of thousands for a case. Does he mean the rich have no desire to be richer? PM has appointed him an adviser of sorts, which actually means a fall from grace. I feel sorry for Khosas short inning but then thats life. -DR. A. P. SANGDIL, Oslo, October 22.
