ISLAMABAD:
Supreme Court (SC) on Monday referred the matter of Justice Qazi Faez Isa and superior bars’ plea regarding the inclusion of three minority judges in the bench hearing the review petitions against the June 19, 2020 order to Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmed.
Apex court Judge Justice Umar Ata Bandial announced the summary judgment whose written order is yet to be issued.
Justice Manzoor Ahmad Malik disagreed with the verdict and would write his dissenting note.
A six-judge larger bench, headed by Justice Umar Ata Bandial, on December 10, 2020, reserved the decision on the plea filed by Justice Isa, his wife and other petitioner bars regarding inclusion of three judges – Justice Maqbool Baqar, Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah and Justice Yahya Afridi – in the bench hearing review petitions against a judgment wherein the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) was directed to conduct an inquiry into the matter regarding non-disclosure of SC judge’s family members’ assets abroad.
