May Allah rest his soul in peace. A great loss for Pakistan. He was both an able and honest Pakistani, a man of his principles and a paragon of integrity. Also, a proud Karachite.

I still remember CJ Bhagwandas... He was one of the best CJ in our history
 
Any landmark judgements by him? Which 3 would you consider the best CJ ( chief justice, not cricketJoshila).

I think to his biggest credit was that he didn't agree to Musharraf's 2007 emergency. Didn't take oath under the PCO and thus was sacked by Musharraf on the eve of 2007 emergency. He retired in December 2007 and was reinstated in retired status. A true symbol of resilience.

You had one Christian guy served as CJC for nearly 8 years and another parsi guy who served as CJC for more than 5 years.
