Ousted SC judge
ISLAMABAD
A five-judge Supreme Judicial Council (SJC), in a 33-page detailed reason of its opinion released on Friday, concluded that Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi was guilty of misconduct and should have been removed from the office of the judge and the honorific ‘Justice’ or ‘Judge’ should not be henceforth used with his name. The SJC found a number of instances of misconduct committed by the judge, thus, damaging the reputation of the judiciary. While Mr Naqvi had resigned a day before the SJC began proceedings on nine complaints against him under Article 209(6).
