ISLAMABAD: A serving sessions court judge has filed a complaint of misconduct against Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar in the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC), reported a local English newspaper.
As per reports, Kohat District and Sessions Judge Ahmed Sultan Tareen sent the 15-page complaint by courier against the top judge in the SJC.
Tareen, in his complaint, has argued that CJP’s current conduct has exposed him as lacking most of the qualities of judge mentioned in Article-II of the Code of Conduct issued by SJC in 2009.
The complaint also mentioned Article-V of the Code of Conduct, which requires of a judge that he should not indulge himself in any public controversy, least of all a political issue.
The complaint read that there is a lot of evidence against Justice Saqib Nisar that has failed to follow the Code of Conduct as required to be observed within limitations of Article-V.
“The chief justice, in a worldly sense, is the last hope of citizens of Pakistan for the sake of justice. The CJP heading this forum of hope is not supposed to be irresponsible in his spoken conduct,” the complaint said.
