Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry (; born 12 December 1948) was a Pakistani judge and the 20th Chief Justice of Pakistan, over three non-consecutive terms from 29 June 2005 to 11 December 2013. Chaudhry began practice as an advocate of the Sindh High Court in 1976, before shifting to his native Quetta and later serving as Advocate General of Balochistan. He was appointed Additional Judge of the Balochistan High Court in 1990, before elevation to its Chief Justice in 1999. Following the military coup against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Chaudhry controversially took oath under army chief General Pervez Musharraf the same year. He also approved the Legal Framework Order consolidating Musharraf's rule, before ascending to the Supreme Court of Pakistan in 2002. He was appointed Chief Justice by President Musharraf on 30 June 2005. On 9 March 2007, Musharraf asked Chaudhry to resign, which he refused, and was suspended from office. The resultant civil disorder led to the Lawyers' Movement, which succeeded in the restoration of Chaudhry as Chief Justice on 20 July 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=CJ Complete Profile )〕 However, Musharraf declared emergency in November, arresting Chaudhry as well as suspending 60 other judges from the judiciary. Following the lifting of emergency in December and general elections in 2008, the government was routed, and Musharraf resigned under threat of impeachment. Asif Ali Zardari succeeded Musharraf as president, but also postponed Chaudhry's restoration. This led to the Lawyers' Movement culminating in the Long March by Zardari's political rival Sharif, and the restoration of the Chaudhry-led judiciary on 22 March 2009. Chaudhry stepped down on 11 December 2013. The movement for Chaudhry's restoration garnered world attention,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Cj Iftikhar Last Day )〕 while his term as Chief Justice witnessed unprecedented judicial activism; including various suo motu directives, ruling against the privatization of the Pakistan Steel Mills, leading the missing persons case in Balochistan and Shahzeb murder case in Karachi, invalidating the National Reconciliation Ordinance, and contentiously dismissing Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani from office for contempt.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=CJ Retired )〕 Chaudhry's legacy is described as having "repurposed a once supine judiciary as a fiercely independent force" but he has been criticized for judicial overreach and allegations of misuse of office.〔(Pakistani chief justice's son accused of taking gifts to influence father )〕〔(Ex-CJP Iftikhar jumps into foray; locks horns with Imran Khan )〕 ==Early life and family== Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was born on 12 December 1948 in Quetta,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Birth & Bia Data Cj )〕 Baluchistan Province, Pakistan.
