Many say the charges against him are politically motivated.
Chaudhry has drawn the ire of the government because "he began to take the constitutional guarantee of judicial independence too seriously and began to poke the judicial finger into holy waters," said Babar Sattar, an Islamabad- based lawyer.
Chaudhry had caused considerable embarrassment to the government by overturning the much-publicized privatization of a steel mill. Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz was tainted for approving the underpriced sale of a major national asset.
The chief justice also took up cases of "forced disappearances" — people believed to have been picked up by the country's powerful intelligence agencies without due process of law.
Human rights groups have expressed concern over the disappearance of at least 400 people in that manner since Pakistan joined the U.S.-led effort to curb terrorism in 2001.
In addition, a number of politically charged cases are likely to come before the Supreme Court in the next few months. Those cases are expected to include one challenging the legality of Musharraf's holding the posts of president and army chief simultaneously and one in which the court is asked to rule on whether the present Parliament can re-elect the general as president. http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/03/15/news/pakistan.php
