Judge returns to work
Black-suited Pakistani lawyers cheered and threw rose petals as Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry returned to work yesterday more than a year after he was sacked by former president Pervez Musharraf.
The government decided to reinstate Chaudhry on March 16, defusing a political crisis that had threatened to bring violent confrontation to the streets of the capital.
