ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court will take up next week the petition of sacked judge of Islamabad High Court Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui challenging the notification of the President terminating his service.
A five-member larger bench headed by Justice Umer Ata Bandial will hear the petition on May 31. Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui had filed an application in the Supreme Court on April 28, requesting for fixing his case at the earliest, as he was going to retire on June 30.
He had submitted that since his removal from office he had not been employed for gain, adding that he like millions of other citizens had been guaranteed fundamental rights. Justice Siddiqui had challenged before the apex court the decision of the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC), recommending his removal from his post for misconduct as well as a notification of the government issued on Oct 11, 2018, terminating his service.

Sarina Isa, wife of Justice Qazi Faez Isa, a judge of the Supreme Court, has questioned the conduct of former Attorney General of Pakistan (AGP) Anwar Mansoor Khan over his remarks against her in a recent interview.
Sarina, in her two-page response on Wednesday, asked how the former AGP got a copy of the confidential report of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) chairman.”The chairman was not a party nor [he] filed his report in the court, so how did you get it?” she asked in the letter.
“Was the report prepared as [part of] a plan B?” she asked and added that, “referencing the report confirms that you are part of yet another conspiracy, the roots of which your own disclosure has unveiled.” Earlier in an interview broadcast on a YouTube channel, Mansoor reportedly alleged that Sarina opened a foreign currency account with another name.
