As I think, if the courts were fair, there would have been no need for NRO. Why these judges did not decided on theses cases which are pending for 10 or more years? These Courts and politicians are playing with us the people. Even the next amendment in Constitution will do no good for us. What has the previous amendments done? Were they passed by us, or by National Assembly? Every time politicians are involved, they just play with peoples mind, for their own use, either it is PML,PPP, Army or now Judiciary is a party also.

All said and done what about the total and complete implementation of the SC verdict.

Will we ever see a Pakistan where the law is above the political powers of a handful of individuals.

Time to do a reality check and put Pakistan on the right path.

NRO was promulgated to deal with ‘politically motivated’ cases and provide relief to those who were involved in such cases.

And Supreme Court’s judgment on NRO is also ‘politically motivated’ to get rid off faces that do not fit into the scheme of those people who matter.

A historic decision by the SC headed by a couragesous and honest CJ Iftikhar Chaudhry. The decision shall give a deserved blow to the corrupt of Pakistan who never cared for any body as they thought and were accountable to none in past.

We like to congratulate to Supreme Court of Pakistan chief judge Chaudary Iftkhar for this good work to expose all the corrupt. Looks like there is some kind of awakening taking place in beloved country Pakistan.

I hope and pray that the Supreme Court’s decision to declare the NRO null and void will not cause political turmoil in Pakistan. Pakistan does not need any more turmoils! Pakistan needs stability. Any progress is not possible in a climate of turmoils and instability. The branches of Government, Judiciary and the public should realize that peace is necessary for the progress. We hope every one will calm down and get back to work.

The NRO ruling should be taken seriously by the elite: no one is above law, corruption will not be tolerated, and that accountability and rule of law will prevail.

Many historic decisions, in the past, had been pronounced by the Apex Courts in the past which failed to get approval of the history although these decisions were excessively glorified at the time they were pronounced. The judgment of today we ought to respect, as to its place in the future history, the people have diverse opinions.

The judgment has created a sort of euphoria within a certain segment of society as well as a considerable turmoil, which is very likely to destabilize the already crumbling political structure which, it was better to have been avoided at least for time being.

Comments by L Ahmad paint a more realistic picture of events.

I am not euphoric about the court ruling because I know nothing will change in decades to come. Our leaders excel in corruption, lies & dishonesty.

A good decision but unenforceable. We have already seen the reaction from all those who have made to the list of honor. All innocent, all honest, never corrupt; so they claim.

From the President to ministers, secretaries & civil servants involved in alleged corrupt conduct. Not to mention the ever alert army generals.

There is no precedent & I don’t think there will be one now. Pakistan’s corrupt hierarchy is corrupt to its very roots & very powerful. You can name & shame them but can never hang them. I’ll believe it when I see it; until then it’s only a wishful thinking.
