PM orders withdrawal of curative reference against Justice Faez Isa

Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif calling it baseless and politically motivated, ordered the withdrawal of a curative reference against the seniormost judge of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, Justice Qazi Faez Isa.

The Premier instructed Minister for Law Azam Nazeer Tarar to withdraw the reference saying that the government would not pursue the same for it is baseless and politically motivated, a Prime Minister Office statement said.

The  federal cabinet while in a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif had already approved the withdrawal of the reference

“This was not a reference rather a victimization by revengeful Imran Niazi against an impartial person pursuing the course of constitution and the law. This was a conspiracy to usurp the independence of judiciary and create a division within,” the prime minister remarked.

He said while being in opposition, the PMLN and other coalition parties had opposed this frivolous reference.

The prime minister said Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi had also made the President of Pakistan “misuse” his office for this “criminal act” who became an accomplice in an attack on the judiciary.

He said the lawyers’ bodies including the Pakistan Bar Council had also opposed the reference and the government valued their opinion.
