When Nawaz Sharif and his party launched an attack on the Supreme Court in 1997, back then Mian Saqib Nisar was Federal Law Secretary
---------------
1997: It was for the 1st time in the history of #Pakistan that some one from the Bar had been appointed as federal law secretary. #SaqibNisar
---------------
After Nawaz Sharif got rid of the then CJP Sajjad Ali Shah, #SaqibNisar was elevated as the Judge of the Lahore High Court on 22.05.1998
---------------
#SaqibNisar was then elevated as the Judge of the Supreme Court on 18.02.2010 when Iftikhar Ch was the CJP after being reinstated in 2009.
---------------
The long march led by Nawaz Sharif proved decisive in the restoration of Iftikhar Ch as the Chief Justice of Pakistan in March 2009.
---------------
In 2010 President Asif Ali Zardari turned down a recommendation by Iftikhar Ch to elevate Justice #SaqibNisar, as the supreme court's judge.
---------------
President Zardari ordered to elevate Justice Khawaja Sharif, the then CJ of the LHC, to the Supreme Court instead of Justice #SaqibNisar.
---------------
Within 2 hours, the then CJP Iftikhar Ch took a suo motu notice of the presidential order to elevate Justice Khawaja Sharif to the SC.
---------------
Well past the working hours, Iftikhar Ch constituted a 3-judge special bench that passed a short order to suspend the presidential order.
---------------
So that's how Justice Mian #SaqibNisar made his way to the #SupremeCourt. On Dec 31, he'll take oath as the chief justice of #Pakistan
