Judges Be Appointed For Life: Dogar

Supreme Court Monday resumed hearing the case regarding the 18th   Constitutional Amendment.  A 17-judge larger bench is hearing the  constitutional petitions filed  against the 18th Amendment.  During the  hearing, Lawyers Forum's counsel Advocate AK Dogar argued  that the  judges should be appointed for life to ensure a free judiciary.

He added that free judiciary does not come under the executive as  in  the parliamentary system both the institutions are separate. Justice   Shakirullah remarked that the constitution separated judiciary from the   executive but legislative is also included in the executive but its  role  is not made clear.

Dogar contended that the country could not survive sans the judiciary.
