Justice Rana Bhagwandas, former Supreme Court judge, has been placed under house arrest. The government is insisting that it is for his own protection, but of course that's absurd. What's not clear to me is why he has been arrested given that he has already retired. Bhagwandas was one of the non-PCO judges who held out to Musharraf. However, he reached retirement age sometime in December and decided to leave his official residence in Islamabad only after doing so. So, this is a person who is not even claiming his official status anymore. Is the government that scared?
