DESCRIPTION
Dr. Justice Nasim Hasan Shah, a former Chief Justice of Pakistan, gained international respect and recognition when he restored the sovereignty of the Parliament in Pakistan; the first such instance in the country’s turbulent constitutional history.
After a brilliant academic career and a Doctorate of Law — with distinction — from Paris University, he had a successful legal practice when he was appointed a High Court Judge at the age of 39, and retired from Supreme Court at 65, the longest tenure by any judge in the history of the Indo-Pak subcontinent.
'Memoirs and Reflections' is an inspiring story of how a young man physically 56 inches tall and 50 inches in girth (almost a midget) overcame his handicap to become the Chief Justice of his country. It contains the portraits of the many jurists and friends who gained fame nationally and internationally, the cases which made history and in which he participated as a counsel and as a judge. It narrates the process of judicial activisn the hitherto unknown facts about the trial of Z. A. Bhutto — the former Prime Minister of Pakistan — the Islamization of Anglo-Saxon Laws, the Kashmir dispute, the betrayal of Pakistan by the last Viceroy of India, Lord Mountbatten, and the many judgements which changed the social and legal fabric of Pakistan.
