Judgment text as reported

JUSTICE QAZI FAEZ ISA VS The PRESIDENT OF PAKISTAN arts. 209(5) & 209(6) & Preamble---'Independence of judiciary' and 'accountability of judges', concepts of---Complementary concepts---Independence of the judiciary was not primarily for the benefit of the Judges, but existed instead to secure the interests, rights and benefits enjoyed by the whole of society---If one were to focus only on the protection of the judiciary from the depredations of the organs of the State (howsoever vitally important and crucial that may be), it would not be the independence of judiciary that would result but rather it would be the rule of Judges without any checks and balances---accordingly, it was only fitting that judicial independence and accountability were treated as being complementary to each other.
