The High Court of Islamabad (IHC) issued Outraight Outcuilding Notices to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday and members of his federal office for non-compliance in the case concerning Dr. Aafia Siddiqui’s Liberation.
The court ordered the federal government to submit an answer within two weeks.
A written order, written by judge Sardar Ejaz Ishaq Khan, noted a model of repeated executive challenge and interference in judicial functions.
“Despite the court’s order, the federal government did not subject any reasons before the court,” the IHC said. “The court has no choice but to publish an opinion of outrage in the Federal Government.”
Judge Ejaz pointed out that the judiciary had been subject to a persistent attack.
“We attended an attack after another against the pillars of justice. These attacks have repeatedly injured the judicial system and brought it to the edge of the collapse. ”
He also said: “Today, another example of assault against the judiciary has been revealed.”
Referring to the administrative interference in the functioning of the Court, judge Ejaz observed: “The service of the justice by a judge of the High Court was controlled by means of a weekly list under the office of the chief judge.”
“This situation is both horrible and absurd at the same time,” he said. “It is a contradiction which has now become the brand brand of this high court.”
Judge Ejaz also recalled that since the 26th constitutional amendment, a so-called “demolition team” had actually been brought to the high court.
“The executive tips have become obvious elsewhere,” he said, adding that legal proceedings were limited by the list mechanism.
He stressed that the judges wishing to hear cases during the judicial holidays were refused the authorization of the administration of the court.
“If a judge wishes to hold the court during the holidays to do justice, the administration of the High Court will not allow it,” he said.
The judge added that the government had had many opportunities to comply.
“The court had given the government the opportunity to present its report,” said judge Ejaz.
The deputy prosecutor was warned earlier that the outrage procedure would be initiated if the report had not been tabled.
Rather than submitting the report, the government appealed to the Supreme Court against the order to submit a modified request, noted the court.
“For any reason, the Supreme Court has not heard the case of the government,” said judge Ejaz.
