Lahore, Apr. 9 : Pakistan Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was not restored as a result of any deal, former Supreme Court Bar Association president Aitzaz Ahsan said on Thursday.

Addressing the lawyers here, he said that Chaudhry would continue to provide justice to the masses through suo motu notices.

Last month, Chaudhry said that the real judiciary had been restored after a long time and now the dignity of the court and institution would have to be restored. He also said that the judiciary would have to be cleaned of corruption.

Speaking after resuming his duties as Chief Justice, Chaudhry said that irregularities would not be tolerated in dispensing justice.

He added that the stories of corruption from civil judge to Supreme Court were common, and urged upon the lawyers to co-operate with him in stamping out corruption.

Justice Chaudhry further said if there was any complaint of irregularity, then a petition could be filed in the Registrar Office.

He said he was thankful to the people on their struggle for restoration of judiciary. (ANI)
