You forgot to comment on the rest of my post.
And by getting elected as the Chief Justice of Pakistan, the most powerful person in Pakistan, someone who has power over both the PM and President of Pakistan; they still remain second class citizens?
Stop distorting facts! I checked it out, he was only the acting chief justice (not incumbent) for a brief period of time, big difference
I think we know why he never was incumbent
Rana Bhagwandas was promoted to the Sindh High Court in 1994. In 1999, his appointment to the superior judiciary was challenged by a constitutional petition (no. 1069/1999) against the Government of Pakistan and Judge Bhagwandas. The petition demanded that the judicial bench consisting of Judge Bhagwandas should be declared unconstitutional because of Bhagwandas' religion, claiming that only Muslims can be appointed to the superior judiciary.[6] The petition was rejected, and the petitioner was condemned by other judges of the high court and by a significant number of lawyers.[7]
Rejected yes, but poor guy could never be the actual Chief justice
