ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan’s Supreme Court, packed with government-friendly judges since the imposition of emergency rule, dismissed on Monday the main challenges to President Pervez Musharraf’s re-election last month.
Once the court clears Musharraf’s October 6 victory, he has vowed to quit as army chief and become a civilian president, although he remains under fire from the opposition and Western allies for setting back democracy in nuclear-armed Pakistan
A bench of 10 judges struck down the five main challenges to Musharraf’s right to contest the election while still army chief. The sixth and final petition will be heard on Thursday.

No body would accept these puppet judges of Musharraf. The worest nigtmare of Musharraf is yet to come. These puppet judges would never bring any good repute to the dictator. Our heroes are those judges who refused to take oath under the PCO of the dictator.
You can’t fool the people by imposing these mout pieces on us. So wait for the worest general!remember the scene of former dictator ZIA, who crushed with his blood thirsty and fanatic generals .
Remember! the heroes are confirm to strike back with full vigor. The puppet judges would run away soon.
