Justice Shaukat Siddiqui asks CJP to constitute judicial commission over meddling allegations
ISLAMABAD - The senior puisne judge of Islamabad High Court (IHC), Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui has requested Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Saqib Nisar to constitute a judicial commission to probe into his allegations against the country's premier spy agency made during a controversial speech yesterday.

In a letter written to the CJP, Justice Siddiqui said that a commission be formed with a retired or serving judge as its head.

Justice Siddiqui made headlines on Saturday after he alleged that officers of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), were directly involved into manipulating the judicial affairs in the country.

He added in the letter that the judge should not be someone who took oath under the Provisional Constitutional Order, instated by former military dictator Pervez Musharraf in 2007.

He demanded that a commission be formed to “probe the authenticity and truthfulness of the presented facts” and that the proceedings be open so that lawyers, media and civil society can attend and report on the same.
