Pervez Musharraf has been held to account under Article 6 of the Constitution. Second and no less important, it is about actions he ostensibly took as an individual; the court has not implicated the army as an institution or undermined its dignity in any way. No one should try and undermine the authority of courts as some elements have been doing taking a cue from the government and army's stance. Most shameful was a protest demonstration organized and led by Vice Chancellor of the Punjab University upon the announcement of the short order. It surely is not the business of university managements and staff to get involved in such affairs.
Of course, anyone can criticize the judgment in this or any other case. But targeting the judiciary as an institution is unacceptable. In the event its verdict does not sit well with the sensitivities of a group of people or an organization the law provides for procedures and proper course to challenge its flaws. The right way forward for the government and others is to go into appeal in the Supreme Court. All must keep their cool, letting the law take its course without fear or favour.
