The Lahore High Court (LHC) Chief Justice (CJ) Ijaz Ahmed Chaudhry on Saturday passed orders to stop two judges from conducting judicial work after finding them guilty of corruption, dishonesty and misusing judicial authority in an inquiry conducted on complaints against them. According to a notification issued by LHC register Sohail Nasir, the LHC CJ has directed Secretary Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Division Government of Pakistan Islamabad to withdraw judicial work from the court of Main Zafar Iqbal Bohar, Judge/Chairman Drug Court Bahawalpur forthwith and expedite his removal from the said court. Zafar Iqbal was found guilty in an inquiry conducted by District and Sessions Judge RY Khan Ch Ameer Muhammad Khan on the complaint of corruption against him. The LHC CJ directed the federal law and justice ministry secretary to appoint someone else at the seat of judge/chairman Drug Court Bahawalpur after consulting with the court and LHC. The LHC had earlier placed services of Zafar Iqbal at the disposal of federal government for his appointment as judge/chairman of the Drug Court which fall under jurisdiction of the federal government.
This is very good step by CJ Lahore High Court. President Save Pakistan Movement Dr Sarfraz Abbasi hailed the step taken.
