From what Shafqat Mehmood said afterwards, it seems that he will be rejoining the cabinet after this case is settled.

it will be another constitutional mess. Ordinances need parliament approval.

lol ..do you think opposition is serious. They didn't say a single word in favor or against Bajwa extension.

You cannot change the law in ongoing case,

Rent a judge on full display....

Supreme Court give direction how to appeal. Actually IK cabinet is full of uneducated short sighted people, otherwise it was not an issue.

Not really. The whole thing about ordinance is that they don't need parliamentary approval. They are executive orders. My knowledge on constitutional matters are quite weak but I think enacted ordinances might have period of expiry attached to them and may require parliament approval thereon to continue to be enacted. In which case it would turn into a law.

For example, Gen. Musharraf issued the National Command Authority or NCA Ordinance during his presidency, which later was (or had to be) enacted by PPP government as law after 2008.

TBH, to depoliticize the service chiefs extension issue we need to actually politicize it even more (ironic, I know). The executive must continue to have the power to appoint the service chiefs but their extension should be subject to approval by parliamentary standing committee comprising of all party representation, and this should be done after interviewing the candidate as to why it is necessary for him to be given extension. I know a lot of people don't have good impression about our politicians but you would be surprised how thorough some of them are and can be in these matters.

A major rectification is required Indeed.

I am totally against this extension (as I was against Kiyani). It serves no one but Bajwa! The Army is full of very competent officers, so why cannot another Lt Gen be made Chief?
