Lahore High Court (LHC) Chief Justice Muhammad Qasim Khan is known for calling a spade a spade. And his recent comments, whereby he termed the Army the country’s “biggest land grabber” were no exception. Whether this signals more confrontation between the judiciary and the military remains to be seen.
That being said, the Chief Justice didn’t stop there. He went on to accuse the Army of seizing 50-kanals-worth of land belonging to the court before confirming that a letter would be sent to the COAS in this regard. Then came the pièce de résistance. CJ Khan made a quip about how those wearing the uniform were meant to serve and not rule over others as if a king.
