The Chief Justice and the Constitution (Dr. Ghany, Aug 2006)

This column examines the decision of then CJ Sharma to stop performing his judicial functions as CJ and the decision of the President to appoint someone to act as CJ. Dr Ghany says in his column that "The fundamental Constitutional issue that arises here is the matter of the inability to perform the functions of one’s office and the application of personal judgment in making such a decision.This has caused considerable Constitutional debate over the years, regardless of the office that one is speaking about."
