Asif said that the judiciary and parliament were at war for the past several months or at least a year. “Even the judiciary cannot dictate parliament,” Asif, a senior leader of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), told the house. Asif recalled that former chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry recused himself from hearing of a case of his son. However, this bill was not signed by the president but still the Supreme Court took notice of it. “We wanted to introduce such a process that will end the impression of a one-man show in the Supreme Court.”
