Supreme Court returns Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui petition

ISLAMABAD – The Supreme Court registrar has returned a petition filed by former Islamabad High Court judge, Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui.

Former justice has petitioned SC against his dismissal by the Supreme Judicial Council.

The registrar highlighted multiple reasons for not entertaining the petition filed by the former IHC judge including that the petitioner has not approached any other appropriate forum available to him under the law for the same relief and has also not provided any justification for not doing so.

The official stated that the certificate provided at page 30 of this constitution point does not fulfil the requirements of Order XXV Rule 6 of the Supreme Court Rules, 1980.
