The constitutional petition was filed by Mian Dawood Advocate in the Supreme Court.
Petition filed in Supreme Court regarding IHC judges letter to SJC. A constitutional petition has been filed in the Supreme Court for an open court inquiry into the letter written by six judges of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) about the alleged interference by spy agencies in the judiciary.
The constitutional petition was filed by Mian Dawood Advocate in the Supreme Court.
The petitioner has taken the position that the letter from the judges of the IHC to the judges of the Supreme Court seems to be a premeditated plan.
It seems that following the instructions of PTI, the judges of IHC have written a letter. The approach of judges to the SJC against the interference of the intelligence agencies in the judicial proceedings has made the whole matter suspicious, the petitioner stated.
Petitioner Mian Dawood Advocate said in the application that this is a constitutional point even a common person associated with the justice system knows that the SJC is not an institution to investigate such disputes, yet the judges of the High Court wrote a letter to it which is equivalent to making the judiciary controversial.
