Chief Justice of Pakistan Anwar Zaheer Jamali will leave on Saturday (today) for a week-long visit to Turkey, sources said, adding that he will return to the country on May 1.

In his absence, Justice Saqib Nisar will act as the acting chief justice. Sources said that during his stay in Turkey, Justice Jamali will attend the Turkish Supreme Court’s 54th birthday celebrations.

Earlier on Friday, National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Qamar Zaman Chaudhry called on Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali at his chambers in the Supreme Court. The NAB chairman presented the bureau’s annual report to the chief justice.

According to sources, the NAB chairman discussed important issues pertaining to corruption cases with the chief justice.

The meeting followed reports that the government has decided to form a judicial commission to probe revelations in the Panama Papers, a massive leak of tax documents from a law firm managing offshore shell companies in the tax haven of Panama.

  1. Current CJP is no comparison to bold n honest Justice Ch-Iftikhar; Islamic history is full of courageous Qazis who upheld verdicts with resistance and punished the corrupt without fear.

  2. Why chief justice has gone to Turkey? Our country is in a big mass, our politicians are out of control our ruling party PMLN is looting the the wealth of Pakistan, PM Nawaz and his family running off shore businesses, it in Panama papers, and our CJ mr Jamali has gone to take part in a time waisting gathering in turkey? Has this been paid by the tax payer? CJ saab there are more impotent issues in Pakistan, somebody else could have gone, why have you gone? Someone like you shouldn't be Chief Justice you are not fit for the job.
