  • Dr. Ishrat Husain
    Interview with The Herald, May 2018 issue 'If you have the right person on the right job, that addresses 50 per cent of the problem': Ishrat Husain Over the last decade or so, there have been at least three books that trace the roots of Pakistan’s contemporary troubles by traversing through its historical and sociopolitical developments. Husain Haqqani’s Pakistan: Between Mosque and Military, Christophe Jaffrelot’s The Pakistan Paradox: Instability and Resilience and Anatol Lieven’s Pakistan: A Hard Country. Dr Ishrat Husain’s book belongs to the same genre, with the difference that he is the only trained economist among the writers. Husain is also a distinguished public figure. He started his career in civil service and then did a long stint at the World Bank. Subsequently, he served as the governor of the State Bank of Pakistan for six years and then chaired the National Commission for Government Reforms during the military dictatorship of Pervez Musharraf. His most recent job was as dean of the prestigious Institute of Business Administration, Karachi. Governing the Ungovernable: Institutional Reforms for Democratic Governance is in many ways a distillation of the experience he has acquired from all these jobs. Spread over 550 pages and 18 chapters, this magnum opus covers every aspect of Pakistan’s public life — from economy and politics to society and the civil service, from government structures and civil-military relations to the role of external actors. The author deems it necessary to carry out an analysis along this broad spectrum of subjects and issues because economic outcomes cannot be explained simply by assessing economic policies and critiquing economic performance.

Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, J:- This consolidated judgment shall decide the instant petition, as well as, petitions mentioned in Schedule A to this judgment as common questions of law and facts arise in these cases. 2. The narrative of the petitioners is that in pursuance of the conviction of Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif by the Anti-Terrorism Court No.1, Karachi on 06.04.2000 and Accountability Court, Attock Fort on 22.07.2000, respondent Authority arrogated to itself the power to recover the fines imposed on Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif not only by the Accountability Court, Attock Fort, but also by the Anti- Terrorism Court No.1 (Sindh High Court, Karachi). In this connection the Special Investigation Unit (SIU), NAB, Lahore illegally took-over various properties of the petitioners without any lawful authority. The W.P. No.3114/2010 2 said properties are more fully described in Schedule-B to this judgment and for brevity have been collectively referred to as “Properties” hereinafter. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that the recovery of the properties from the petitioners on account of the sentence, fine and forfeiture imposed on Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif was wholly illegal and without lawful authority because the petitioners could not have been coerced into handing over their properties on behalf of Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif simply on account of family relationship.
