ISLAMABAD:
Supreme Court s Justice Qazi Faez Isa on Thursday maintained that Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) members former top judge Asif Saeed Khosa and Justice (retd) Sheikh Azmat Saeed were biased against him.
A 10-judge larger bench headed by Justice Umar Ata Bandial took up a review petition against the apex court s June 19 order wherein the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) was directed to proceed against the undeclared properties of Justice Isa s family members.
During the hearing, Justice Isa accused SJC members, especially former CJ Asif Saeed Khosa and Justice (retd) Sheikh Azmat Saeed, of being biased against him.

ISLAMABAD:
The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has contended that if a bench – not including dissenting judges – heard the review petitions in Justice Qazi Faez Isa case then such adjudication would give rise to a perception that the dissident judicial voices are being silenced. This naturally raises questions of transparency and impartiality, whether well-founded or ill-founded. Transparency and impartiality occupy a central place in the adjudicative arena,” said SCBA President Lateef Afridi in his written arguments submitted to the Supreme Court.
