The Registrar of Supreme Court, Mohammad Amin Farouki, has been prematurely retired by Chief Justice Nazim Hussain Siddiqui, sources said here on Monday. Budha Khan, Additional Registrar of the Court, has replaced him and will take charge of his new responsibilities on Tuesday. Amin Farouki, according to sources, still had a year or so to serve before attaining the age of superannuation.

His retirement order became known after working hours. Hence, reasons for this sudden action could not be ascertained.
