The populist approach adopted by Justice Nisar in the final leg of his tenure was contrary to the Justice Nisar known to the legal fraternity. The bold CJP instead of shying away, embraced the issue of institutional intervention of different state institutions into each other’s domain. The other more pressing issue that falls exclusively within his own domain, was also addressed by the new captain. The captain seems to have a plan under his belt and all we can hope is he is able to implement some or part of it, if not all. There will most certainly be turbulent waters, but rest assured the new captain will not let the judiciary become another titanic.
