Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Gulzar Ahmed remained unhurt after his convoy met with an accident near Rashakai, the Supreme Court’s (SC) spokesperson said on Friday.
The spokesperson said that one of the cars in CJP Gulzar’s convoy had an accident as he was travelling to Kohat to attend the funeral of Justice Yahya Afridi’s father. The spokesperson said the accident took place near Rashakai town in Mardan.
“Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed and his car are safe,” said the spokesperson.
It was reported on Thursday that SC’s Justice Yahya Afridi’s father Omar Khan Afridi had passed away. Remembered as an outstanding civil servant, Afridi had previously served as the chief secretary for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and later an interior minister.
