Chief Justice Isa calls it a day
Former chief justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa called it a day on Friday (Oct 25) on attaining the age of superannuation.
A few days earlier, Justice Isa concluded his cases and started “chamber work”. Chief Justice Isa wrote judgements during the chamber work.
Justice Mansoor Ali Shah’s bench was shifted to Courtroom No 1.
CJP Isa sent the names of three most senior judges of the Supreme Court to a parliamentary committee constituted under the 26th constitutional amendment. It paved the way for selection of Justice Yahya Afridi as the new chief justice.
A full court reference was held on Friday to pay tribute to Qazi Faez Isa.
