In 1977 he was appointed as the Chairman of Indus Water Commission. He was a great believer in democracy which is why he was forced to retire by the military dictator Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq on 22 July 1977. Justice Yaqub Ali had held a previous martial law by a usurping general ultra-vires to the constitution of Pakistan as martial law undermines the concept of the rule of law which is the basis for a constitution. The usurping General Zia realied his illegal actions would be overturned in a court of law headed by a Judge who believed in demoocracy so he proposed amendments to force the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to retire. In fact, the general did not just stop there but went further on to remove most of his siblings save one (who happened to be posted abroad so was safe from the line of fire). After retirement Justice Yaqub Ali became a social worker in the field of education to make sure he continued to serve his country. See also
