ISLAMABAD: Sarina Isa, spouse of Justice Qazi Faez Isa, on Wednesday invited Prime Minister Imran Khan to face her in a live TV show, showing money trail for her London properties.
Sarina Isa wrote an open letter to Prime Minister Imran Khan after receiving eight notices from the government in petitions filed in her case in the Supreme Court. “Mr Imran Khan, if you are still not satisfied with regard to the London properties and how they were bought, I request you to come on a live television show and face me. I will show the world my earnings, savings, money trail and taxes paid by me and expect that you will do the same,” Sarina Isa said.

ISLAMABAD:
Soon after the judgment in the Faizabad sit-in case in February 2019, unconfirmed news began to surface that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-led government was planning to file a presidential reference against outspoken Justice Qazi Faez Isa.
Several review petitions were filed by different political parties and the government institutions against that judgment wherein he questioned the conduct of civilian and military functionaries. Some petitioners even raised the question that Justice Isa, by the authoring judgment, had violated his code of conduct.
In May 27, 2019, a message was being circulated among lawyers and media persons against undeclared properties of superior courts judges and their spouses without mentioning their names. It was also stated in that message that the law ministry had no option but to file a reference against them in the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC).
