ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Saqib Nisar is fulfilling his promise of accountability within his institution by scrutinising his own superior judiciary first.
Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar summoned another meeting of the Supreme Judicial Council on Tuesday (tomorrow) to consider complaints of alleged misconduct against two Lahore High Court (LHC) judges.
The sources said that the council summoned two LHC judges for personally explaining their positions regarding the complaints.
It is learnt that both judges had already been served show-cause notices last year during the tenure of former Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali.
One of them had challenged the council’s show-cause notice in the Supreme Court. Later, the judge withdrew his petition.
This will be the second meeting of the council this month (February).
Last week, the SJC summoned an Islamabad High Court judge and one LHC judge, whose name was included in Panama Papers.
