On Tuesday, a two-member panel of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) prohibited Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri from carrying out his official duties until the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) rendered a ruling on a case that was still pending against him.
The IHC’s divisional bench, consisting of Justice Mohammad Azam Khan and Chief Justice (CJ) Sardar Muhammad Sarfraz Dogar, declared its decision in a petition submitted by Mian Dawood.
Regarding the maintainability of the plea, the two-member bench requested the aid of Attorney General for Pakistan (AGP) Mansoor Awan. Attorneys Ashtar Ausaf and Barrister Zafarullah Khan were also named amici curiae by the court.
