Islamabad High Court Justice Riaz Ahmad Khan will retire on Wednesday.
He was elevated to the IHC Bench on December 21, 2010. He was born on 15-05-1952 in Nowshera (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) and served on different positions including senior civil judge.
He was appointed as assistant advocate general (KP) in 1997. Later, he was appointed as NAB additional deputy prosecutor general accountability, NAB (F). He was elected as the Provincial Bar Council member in 1999.
However, due to the lack of judges in the IHC the number of pending cases in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) has escalated to over 11,000.
Although the IHC disposed of many high profile cases during 2013, the general public is suffering due to the shortage of judges as thousands of litigants are still waiting for justice.
