Imran Khan files a complaint against Chief Justice Farooq for alleged breach of judicial duties, emphasizing the importance of upholding the rule of law in Pakistan.

Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has taken a significant step by lodging a complaint against Islamabad High Court Chief Justice Aamer Farooq. The complaint was submitted to the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) and accuses Justice Farooq of breaching his oath of office and the code of conduct.

In the complaint, Imran Khan, a former prime minister, highlighted that Chief Justice Farooq's behavior was in violation of his sworn duties and the established code of conduct. This alleged misconduct is considered a serious matter under Article 209 of the Constitution.

The conflict between Imran Khan and Chief Justice Farooq stems from the perceived breach of judicial responsibilities by the latter. Imran Khan's complaint to the SJC aims to address what he sees as a clear violation of the principles that govern the judiciary's conduct.

Imran Khan's decision to file a complaint against Chief Justice Farooq underscores the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring that public officials adhere to their prescribed duties. This development will likely lead to further scrutiny of the judiciary's conduct and may have implications for the broader legal landscape in Pakistan.
