Former judge challenges his dismissal

Former

puisne judge of the Islamabad High Court (IHC), Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui, who was terminated earlier this month by President Arif Alvi on the recommendations of the Supreme Judicial Commission (SJC) over charges of misconduct, has challenged his termination in the Supreme Court.

He was terminated for levelling serious allegations against Pakistan’s secret service agencies. Yesterday, in his petition, he contended that SJC sacked him without fulfilling the legal course. (Staff Report)
