Ch Iftikhar talented son, completed his medical school in 7 years as he was admitted in medical college on his father’s quota although he got C Grade in intermediate exams. Then Ch Iftikar realized that its time to find an influential family for his son to get married. Arsalan’s wife is the daughter of a senior army officer.His son secured only 16/100 marks in English in Civil Service Exams but he sent his son to FIA by bulldozing all Public service commission rules. Again a smart man, who knows how to make money. Dr Arsalan was first caught during Gen Musharaf’s regime by journalist Ansar Abbasi for misusing his father’s position to get posting in police as ASP and Assistant Director in Federal Investigation Agency. Mr Abbasi preferred to ‘pardon’ him once the free judiciary movement kicked off after the sacking of Mr Chaudhry by Gen Musharraf. Ansar Abbasi was among the first to bring forth allegations against Chief Justice Iftikhar Choudhray for gross misconduct in 2002, accusing him for admitting his son Dr. Arsalan to the Federal Investigation Agency undermining all merits.Primarily based on this allegation the establishment moved a reference to Supreme Judicial Council against Chief Justice Iftikhar Choudhry. Those who proclaim him as a “hero” and as someone who “stood up to a General” conveniently forget that Iftikhar Chaudhry was one of the judges who legitimized Musharraf’s (rightful) takeover of the Government under the “doctrine of necessity.” Not only that, he was also among the first judges to take an oath on the PCO in January 2000. It gets more interesting: on April 13 2005, “in the “Judgment on 17th Amendment and President’s Uniform Case”, Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry was one of 5 Supreme Court judges who dismissed all petitions challenging President Musharraf’s consistitutional amendments. In a wide ranging judgment they declared that the Legal Framework Order (LFO) instituted by General Musharraf after his suspension of the constitution, the 17th amendment which gave this constitutional backing, and the two offices bill which allowed Musharraf to retain his military uniform whilst being President were all legal.” Print and electronic media in Pakistan is used to remain very active and in search of any thrilling story soon after its independence given by President Musharraf. Mr. Ansar Abbasi (The News) investigated about the Chief justice and found that always a favour was given to his son Dr. Arsalan Chaudhry, directly by the orders of CJP himself, which were mostly not on merit at all. Due to unknown reasons, he did not public this story. However, he slipped his tongue in Geo’s famous ‘Capital Talk’ in early 2007. Kamran Khan, from Geo, also brought Dr. Arsalan on telephone call in early 2007, asking about the news against him. Dr. Arsalan, the son of CJP denied the news and told media that he is going to Court to defend these allegations. CJP anxious about media reports raised this matter to President Musharraf in his meeting with him on 13th February 2007. President instructed the investigation agencies to explore the realities behind these reports. The famous letter from Naeem Bukhari stimulated the issue even more. When the investigation completed, the findings were very shocking for President. They all were going against CJP. It revealed that not even the allegations of media about his son are true but also more serious findings were brought into notice of President Musharraf, including his personal corruption and greed for protocol, for which he was not entitled for. It all worried President. CJP had been used to visit President in his office and house many times, even with his family. There was nothing wrong in the personal terms and relations between the both. President Musharraf, at this moment, however had to decide what to select. Either he had to prefer personal relations or to follow the legal course of actions. There was also a case against Arsalan Choudry in a court in Baluchistan, that from the Health Department in Baluchistan he had shifted to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), that he had obtained training in the Police Academy, that he reportedly drove a BMW 7-Series car, that there was a complaint against him with the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
