Musharraf dissolved the Supreme Court and the four High Courts, put Chaudhry and his entire family under house arrest, sealed the Supreme Court premises under army guard, and proceeded to arrest and detain all judges who refused to swear allegiance to the Provisional Constitutional Order upholding the state of emergency. The result was the detention of most of the senior judiciary, as well as bar association presidents across the country and all leading lawyers and human rights activists seeking to defend judicial independence.
穆沙拉夫解散了最高法院和四个高等法院，将乔杜里及其全家软禁起来，派遣武装警卫封锁了最高法院大楼，继续逮捕和扣押所有拒绝向支持紧急状态的“临时宪法令”宣誓效忠的法官。结果，大多数高级法官被捕，同时被捕的还有全国所有企图捍卫司法独立的律师协会主席、主要律师，以及人权活动家。
