4 Possible Outcomes - #BajwaExtension case
1. The apex court could accept the Govt’s steps to fix the legal weaknesses in the original notification & declare fresh notification as valid, reverting situation to the status quo & Bajwa would start his next 3-year term as the #COAS
1. The apex court could accept the Govt’s steps to fix the legal weaknesses in the original notification & declare fresh notification as valid, reverting situation to the status quo & Bajwa would start his next 3-year term as the #COAS
2. The Supreme Court of #Pakistan could declare that the fresh notification is not valid & the extension of the #COAS #QamarJavedBajwa would not proceed, indicating that he would retire on November 29, 2019.
3. The Supreme Court of #Pakistan may not make a decision today & ask for more arguments. If the next hearing is scheduled for a date after Friday when Gen #QamarJavedBajwa retires, then the Govt will need to announce a new #COAS.
4. The Govt can also opt to take more time for a fresh appointment & in the meantime, the charge of the #ArmyChief is handed over to someone else within the high command of the army or #GenNadeemRaza could be given the acting charge of the #COAS office, until the court’s verdict.
