unfortunately, some of the scribd links above have been deleted. anyway, if you drop down to p.286 here, you can read mufti sharif ul haq amjadi's short but excellent article on taqlid shakhsi.
They are excellent articles and al humdullilah have been compiled into a book. They are very beneficial and should be translated into English.
