As per Aritcle 177 is concerned it says that the chief justice is appointed by the President and rest of the judges after consultation with the chief justice of Pakistan.
Now what we have to see is the point whether it is compulsary on the President to act upon the advice of CJ or not.
and whether there is any compulsion that the judge's chosen must b only on the basis of seniority.


According to me CJ advice is given a lot of importance. He is in the buisness he knows better then anyone who is much capable.
Our constitution maker knew this point and that is the reason why it has been made compulsary to consult CJ in apponting othr judges.

All the Suo Motto Actions taken by Chief Justice were purely for the batterment fo people of Pakistan.


Our Constitution is based on such system that Judiciary, legislative and Executive can check each others functions.


In these conditions i think the President action was useless and he should not have interfered as the law system was improving
