ABSTRACT
In the sixtieth year of Pakistan’s independence, its president, General Pervez Musharraf, went to war against its courts and judges. As the Supreme Court took up petitions challenging the disappearances of citizens,1 corruption in the privatization of state enterprises,2 the conduct of police and security forces, and finally, the questionable legitimacy of Musharraf ’s tenure and re-election bid, Musharraf took on the judiciary.
