The top justice’s remarks followed a letter sent on March 25 by six judges of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) to the Supreme Court, in which they accused spy services of interfering with legal matters.
In order to address the issue of purported meddling by intelligence agents in judicial functions or “intimidation” of judges in a way that compromised the independence of the judiciary, the judges of the International Humanitarian Court (IHC) had ordered that Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa call a judicial convention.
Judges Mohsin Akhtar Kayani, Babar Sattar, Arbab Muhammad Tahir, Tariq Mahmood Jehangiri, Sardar Ejaz Ishaq Khan, and Saman Rifat Imtiaz were among the six IHC judges.
