Iftikhar Chaudhry
Iftikhar Chaudhry is a former Chief Justice of Pakistan, known for his controversial tenure which included a significant period of judicial activism. Appointed in 2005, he became a prominent figure in Pakistan's legal landscape, particularly during the lawyers' movement in 2007 that aimed to restore him after his suspension by then-President Pervez Musharraf. Chaudhry's tenure was marked by his efforts to uphold the independence of the judiciary, but it also drew criticism for perceived overreach into political matters. His legacy is complex, as he is viewed both as a champion of judicial independence and as a figure involved in contentious political decisions.
