No one is indispensable for any post in Pakistan: CJ

Chief Justice (CJ) Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry has remarked “ no one is indispensable for any post in Pakistan.
A 3-member bench of Supreme Court (SC) headed by the CJ Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry heard the Hajj corruption case Wednesday.
He further remarked if some competent person goes then 50 persons who are more competent than he come to replace him.
A retired person is granted extension for the reason that no business can be run without him. There are very competent people present in Pakistan. Forget it that any institution will not run without any person. All jobs be done on merit.
Justice Amir Hani Muslim remarked “ there is no concept of adhocism in the law. Any officer who completes tenure of his service has to go and he will have to go. If  retired people are reappointed then the officers who are waiting for their promotion will go where.
Justice Jawwad S Khawaja remarked “ General De Gaulle had said the graves are full of indispensable people. Anti courts amendments are introduced in the parliament on every other day to harass the courts.  We will not only recover every pie but also initiate criminal proceedings against those whosoever have plundered the national wealth.
FIA investigation officer Hussain Asghar told the court that Rs 5000 per each have been returned to 1089 Hajjis. The court reserved the judgment of Hajj corruption case.
CJ while addressing to Hussain Asghar remarked “ our country is an independent country and our citizen is involved in this corruption. Hajj is part of our faith. Why you don’t try to arrest Ahmad Faiz while remaining  within your jurisdiction.
Zulfiqar Naqvi told the court he had been appointed as special prosecutor.
CJ remarked “ tour operators have created trouble  for the Hajjis. Why you receive Rs 250000 from every Hajji. Government says that only Rs 200000 be received but you collect money ranging between Rs 250000 to 350000 and do business.
Justice Khawaja remarked “ government has not spared the Hajjis even. Such treatment with the guests of Allah is detestable and condemnable. Pockets of the Hajjis are being robbed of. It is proverb “ Bedouins of Mecca looted the caravans and now this job is done by government and tour operators.
Naqvi told that these funds are meant for providing assistance to the Hajjis and these are kept in joint accounts. If any loss is caused or any fraud is committed with any Hajji then he is helped out from this fund.
CJ remarked “ you should pay the money out of the profit. Why the amount is deducted from the amount  paid by Hajjis.
Naqvi told the court that 25 to 30 tour operators have received Rs 5000 per hajji which have been returned.
CJ remarked additional amount to the tune of Rs 5000 was charged to Hajjis. FIA has to review this matter, Let it review the matters. Whosoever has done injustice with the Hajjis will be proceeded against under law.
Justice Amir Hani remarked if FIA will not take action if court does not say so.
CJ observed “ whosoever has received  money should return it. Tour operators will have to face the music too.
CJ remarked “ business is being done in the name of religion. Business is going on in every matter. Tour operators have earned so much money that they should send some one to  Hajj on voluntary basis.
Hussain Asghar told 500 million rupees is lying and ministry of religious affairs and tour operators are spending it on themselves.
CJ inquired as to why ministry of religious affairs is spending the Hajjis money as it can not do so.
CJ observed “ it is matter of shame. As to why you have not brought back Ahmad Fayyaz.
Hussain Asghar told his wife and children are living in Saudi Arabia illegally. Saudi government is sending them back. The matters will be resolved within a month. The entire family will come back. 4 challans have been presented.
CJ remarked “ officers were appointed on adhoc basis. Where this matter stands now. We have framed a law on this count that you can not do so. A full court decision is there also.
The court also reviewed the case of a lady dental surgeon who was appointed after creating a grade 19 post.
The lady surgeon told not a single pie has been paid to her and she has no personal interest in the post. The judgment of Hajj corruption  case was reserved.
