No judge complained about interference during my term: CJP

KARACHI: Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa has said that since assuming the role of chief justice, he has not received any complaints of interference from any judge of any high court.

“If there has been any interference, it has not been reported to me,” he clarified.

Addressing the members of the Sindh High Court Bar Association in Karachi, the chief justice emphasized that interference in judicial matters is unacceptable. “The incidents of interference reported by six judges of the Islamabad High Court occurred before my tenure as chief justice,” he elaborated.

Expressing his appreciation for the Sindh High Court Bar Association, Chief Justice Isa reminisced that Sindh and Balochistan were once under a single high court jurisdiction.

“This is my inaugural visit to the bar room, a place that holds many memories for me, especially since it did not exist when I accompanied my father here,” he shared, highlighting the historical significance of the Sindh High Court.

Sindh High Court Chief Justice, Justice Aqeel Ahmed Abbasi, addressed the gathering, stating that while peace and order are typically administrative matters, the court has independently taken serious measures to restore peace in the province.
