Justice Shaukat Aziz of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) has been issued a show cause notice by the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) for making “unwarranted comments about some important constitutional institutions” while passing an interim order in the Faizabad sit-in case.
According to the issued notice, Justice Shaukat Aziz “knowing and purposely while adjudicating upon Writ Petition No. 3914 of 2017 made unnecessary and unwarranted comments about some important constitutional institutions.”
Justice Shaukat Aziz is required to submit a response within 14 days, and the Council will proceed further on March 7, 2018, reported The News on Friday.
During the hearing of Faizabad dharna by Tehreek-e-Labbaik in November 2017, Justice Siddiqui raised concerns over the role of certain senior officers of the armed forces in negotiating to end the sit in. The show cause notice made a reference to these comments, “Such comments had prima facie traveled beyond the scope of lis under consideration and had seemingly tendency to undermine the respect otherwise due to such constitutional institutions.”
