نئے چیف جسٹس عمر عطا بندیال کا آئیندہ چیف جسٹس فائز عیسی متعلق اختلافی نوٹ نئی عدالتی کشمکش کاآغاز؟

In an interesting development relating to the Pakistani judiciary the newly appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Justice Umar Atta Bandiyal has released his dissenting note against a majority 6-judges verdict that quashed charges of misconduct against a popular top judge - Justice Qazi Faez Isa. Justice Isa will succeed Justice Bandiyal as Chief Justice next year amid growing uneasiness and apprehension in the powerful military establishment ranks about such a possibility. Justice Isa issued damning verdicts against illegal military’s intervention in Pakistani politics whereafter the Military backed government of Prime Minister Imran Khan engineered a tax evasion complaint against Justice Isa. Justice Isa made history by appearing in person before his fellow judges to successfully plead his case as after over a year long legal battle the apex court recalled one of its own verdict to dismiss the government’s complaint by a 6 to 4 majority. The newly appointed Chief Justice Bandiyal said Justice Isa had been wrongly acquitted.
