ISLAMABAD: Justice Qazi Faez Isa on Thursday hurled startling allegations regarding proceedings of the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) on the presidential reference filed against him, which was rejected by the apex court in June last year.
Justice Isa, a sitting judge of the top court, alleged that his colleagues had betrayed him and went to the extent of declaring that former chief justice of Pakistan Asif Saeed Khosa had “stabbed him in the back”.
He was making submissions before the 10-judge bench of the Supreme Court headed by Justice Umar Ata Bandial during hearing of review petitions filed against the court’s June 19, 2020 judgement on the presidential reference in which the court had empowered the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to conduct an inquiry into offshore assets of his spouse.
