From Al-Jazeera…

A panel hearing accusations of misconduct against Iftikhar Chaudhry, Pakistan’s suspended chief justice, has itself been suspended by the country’s supreme court.
Chaudhry had previously gone to the supreme court to question the competency of the panel, the Supreme Judicial Council.
The move on Monday is seen as a vindication of Chaudhry who has gathered public support for challenging government misdeeds.
Chaudhry was suspended by the government on March 9 and had challenged the competency of the Supreme Judicial Council, asking the supreme court to take up his case.
Tariq Mehmood, a lawyer for Chaudhry, said: “The Supreme Court has stayed the proceedings of the Supreme Judicial Council and has recommended the setting up of a full bench to hear the chief justice’s petition.”
Constitutional deadlock
Facing charges of misconduct he has refused to resign and his suspension has prompted massive demonstrations of support.
