The Supreme Judicial Council on Wednesday began a probe against SC judge Justice Sayyed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi over complaints of ‘misconduct’.
In April, a judicial reference was filed against Supreme Court Justice Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi in the Supreme Judicial Council, accusing him of ‘misconduct and amassing illegitimate assets.’
The sources said the proceedings were initiated after Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Umar Ata Bandial forwarded the complaints to a member
of the SJC.
It may be noted that two judges of the Supreme Court of Pakistan,
Justice Qazi Faez Isa and Justice Sardar Tariq Masood, urged the Supreme Judicial Council to initiate proceedings on complaints of alleged
‘misconduct and financial improriety’ against Justice Sayyed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi.
In a letter penned down to Supreme Judicial Council, the two SC judges urged the body to convene a meeting to probe complaints against fellow apex court judge, Justice Sayyed Mazahar Naqvi.
The letter stated that several written complaints had been received, including from the Pakistan Bar Council (PBC), alleging misconduct and financial impropriety by Justice Naqvi.
