President approves issuance of Justice Shaukat Aziz’s retirement notification
==========
President Asif Ali Zardari has approved the retirement notification of Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui, on attaining the age of superannuation with effect from 30-06-2021. The retirement notification was approved in the light of the Supreme Court of Pakistan’s judgment of 22-03-2024. The President also approved the withdrawal of the Law and Justice Division’s notification, dated 11-10-2018, regarding Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui’s removal as Judge, Islamabad High Court. The Supreme Court overturned the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC)’s October 2018 notification, which led to the dismissal of Islamabad High Court (IHC) senior puisne judge Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui. The dismissal stemmed from serious allegations leveled by Siddiqui against a former spy chief. Siddiqui should be declared as a retired high court judge and will also get the perks and benefits of retirement. Siddiqui had accused former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lt Gen Faiz Hameed and some other officials of trying to manipulate the IHC benches as well as the accountability courts that work under the high court. The SJC initiated misconduct proceedings against the IHC judge for purportedly breaching the judge’s code of conduct. The council on October 11, 2018 recommended his removal. The former judge later approached the apex court against the SJC order. However, his appeal against the council’s verdict was taken up only after Justice Isa assumed office as the chief justice of Pakistan.
