Removing Javed Iqbal and Rana Bhagwandas as Acting CJ

Please note that during suspension of Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, both Justice Iqbal and Justice Bhagwandas were only acting CJ. The CJ even at that time was still Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry. There are always cases when you have acting CJ. Both Rana and Iqbal have worked as acting CJ when Iftikhar was out of country. Again both were never CJ and should not be in this list. This is not what only I am saying even Javed Iqbal said it. This observation was made by Justice Iqbal during the Judicial Trial of the Chief Justice Chaudhry.
