ISLAMABAD – The Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) dismissed one of the references filed against Supreme Court Judge Qazi Faez Isa on Monday.
The council – which oversees the conduct of judges of the superior judiciary – had initiated misconduct proceedings against the said judge for writing a letter to President Arif Alvi, however, it has dismissed the reference.
SJC wrapped up the reference after hearing the arguments presented by informant lawyer Waheed Shehzad Butt.
