No individual has powers to amend constitution: IftikharDeposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry Thursday said that no individual has powers to amend the constitution.
In a telephonic address to Sindh High Court Bar, Iftikhar Chaudhry said that the parliament should not endorse the post November 3 measures taken by an individual otherwise it would loose its prestige and encourage the negative traditions.
Iftikhar said that if such steps legitimized than a police official would pressurize judges to get favorable decisions in future.
He said that previous judges can be restored under an executive order in the same way as the new judges were appointed with an executive order under PCO.
Deposed chief justice said that victory is near and lawyers’ moment would soon get the fruit of their struggle. He paid tribute to the lawyers and judges for their struggle.
