  • Comments Off on CJP urged to refrain from humiliating judges
Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui, a judge of Islamabad High Court, Friday made a humble appeal to Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar for not passing personal or derogatory comments against judges of other courts as all the judges are equally worthy of respect.

During the proceedings of a case of closed road in front of the ISI headquarters in the federal capital, Justice Siddiqui remarked that while CJP Mian Saqib Nisar has the right to set aside, modify or uphold the verdicts of the high court judges, he does not have the right to humiliate them.

Justice Siddiqui said if the CJP would not respect the subordinate courts then they would also not be responsible for defending the institution. The judges who are ridiculed by the CJP will be bound to respond to the comments, which will be damaging to the judicial institution, said, adding that the CJP has no right to ridicule the judges in the open court.
