The Islamabad High Court, the other day, had suspended and repatriated District & Sessions Judge Arshad Malik to the LHC for disciplinary proceedings.
"The disclosure and admission made by the former judge accountability court-II Islamabad and his affidavit prima facie constitute acts of misconduct and violation of the code of conduct which warrant initiation of disciplinary proceedings against him," said a notification issued by the IHC acting registrar.
It is to mention that the Supreme Court hearing petitions related to the video leak on Tuesday had termed the conduct of judge Malik "shameful" and asked why the law ministry had not transferred him back to the LHC. The apex court had observed that it appeared that the law ministry was giving refuge to the controversial judge.
