Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali received an unusual gift on Saturday - a horse and a goat which he eventually refused to accept. The CJ was addressing the Larkana Bar Council, giving young lawyers advice on good living, self-improvement and the drawbacks of 30 years of military rule. As his address ended a brown horse and a white goat walked into the tent.
The well bred horse and goat were an expensive gift that the bar had decided to present to the chief justice. As the horse was brought to the stage by its keeper, the Chief Justice patted it lovingly, but eventually refused the present. The reason - anything above the value of Rs 10,000 presented to the Chief Justice has to be returned to the state treasury. "I cannot possibly accept this present. But thanks a lot," he said. "If I accept the goat I will not be able to perform my duties as the Chief Justice. Even at court I will wonder if I gave food to it, or took it out for grazing," he said on a lighter note.
