Pakistan Bar Council condemns PTI's demand against Chief Justice Isa

The Pakistan Bar Council (PBC) has strongly criticized the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) for demanding Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa to abstain from presiding over cases involving the political party. The PBC's Vice Chairman and Executive Committee Chairman condemned the PTI's request, labeling it as an attempt to pressure the Chief Justice. They pointed out that according to the Supreme Court Practice and Procedure Act, benches are constituted by the Chief Justice and the two most senior judges, rendering the PTI's demand unfounded and designed to influence Chief Justice Isa.

The PBC leaders commended Chief Justice Isa's skills, honesty, and autonomy, underscoring his esteemed standing within the legal community. They reiterated their commitment to safeguarding the independence of the judiciary and rebuffed any endeavors to besmirch its reputation or undermine Chief Justice Isa. The statement concluded by stressing the legal fraternity's unwavering dedication to the Constitution, the rule of law, and the autonomy of the judiciary.

The Pakistan Bar Council's firm stance against the PTI's demand highlights the legal community's commitment to upholding the principles of justice and independence. Chief Justice Isa's integrity and competence continue to garner respect, and efforts to interfere with judicial processes are met with strong opposition. The legal fraternity's pledge to defend the rule of law and the judiciary's autonomy remains resolute, ensuring that justice prevails in Pakistan.
