Judgment text as reported

Justice QAZI FAEZ ISA VS PRESIDENT OF PAKISTAN arts. 209(5) & 209(6) & Preamble---'Independence of judiciary' and 'rule of law' importance of---Rule of law---Scope---Edifice of the judicial independence rests on the assumption that every Judge besides being fair and impartial is fiercely independent and is free to uphold his judicial views---Such judicial freedom is fundamental to the concept of the rule of law---any attempt to muffle judicial independence or to stifle dissent shakes the foundation of a free and impartial judicial system, thus eroding public confidence on which the entire edifice of judicature stands---Judge whose decisions are dictated not by the fidelity to the letter and spirit of the law but based on what he deems to be palatable to the Government would cause irretrievable damage to the public confidence in the judiciary, and consequently jeopardize its credibility and moral authority---Rule of law and the independence of judiciary are conceptually interwoven---Without an independent judiciary, expecting the rule of law is a sheer farce---Rule of law and the independence of the judiciary are the only guarantee to the maintenance and preservation of a thriving democracy.
