SLAMABAD: Former Lahore High Court (LHC) Chief Justice Ameer Bhatti is accused by Justice (retd) Shahid Jameel Khan of using his position to politically benefit his son-in-law, Ali Afzal Sahi, who is connected to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Justice Bhatti resigned from the LHC in February.
In a shocking interview with host Azaz Syed for his social media talk show “Talk Shock” several months after he submitted his resignation, Khan revealed details about his fellow judges.
“The decline of the judiciary in Punjab began during the tenure of Justice Sardar Shamim as LHC chief justice, who was close to the PML-N (Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz) and was readjusted after retirement,” the retired jurist said in the interview.
