Three officials filed statements to the Supreme Court on Thursday contesting Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry's account of his suspension by military ruler President Pervez Musharraf on March 9.

One of them, military intelligence chief Major General Nadeem Ijaz, said that Chaudhry wanted Musharraf to dissolve the government several months ago and make him head of an interim administration.

The statements also accused the judge of various acts of misconduct including that he asked Pakistan's intelligence agencies to spy on other judges for him.

"All three affidavits are based on fairy tales and fabrications. There are total lies in the affidavits," Aitzaz Ahsan, the head lawyer for the chief justice, told reporters outside court.

"This is heinous and criminal to file fabricated affidavits before 13 judges," added Ahsan, who is also a legislator for the opposition Pakistan People's Party of former premier Benazir Bhutto.
