Sajjad Ali Shah
Sajjad Ali Shah was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan. In 1997, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's party was elected with a majority large enough for Sharif to change the Constitution, and to systematically remove the institutional checks and balances on the Prime Minister's power. Shah attempted to preserve the independence of the judiciary, which was damaged when the Supreme Court was stormed by political-party goons, and the Chief Justice was forced out of office.
