Justice Isa seeks removal of registrar for ‘damaging’ top court reputation

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

• Registrar doesn’t have power to undo a judicial order: Justice Isa
• SC judge asks the registrar to withdraw the circular immediately.
• Justice Isa seeks disciplinary proceedings against him as per laws.

Strongly reacting to the March 31 circular issued by the Supreme Court Registrar Office “disregarding” a judgement issued by a three-member bench, senior puisne judge Justice Qazi Faez Isa on Monday asked the establishment division to immediately remove Ishrat Ali — the registrar — to prevent him from further "damaging the reputation and integrity" of the top court.

A special apex court bench, with a two-to-one majority on March 29, ordered suspending all suo motu cases — under Article 184(3) of the Constitution — until amendments are made to the Supreme Court Rules 1980 regarding the discretionary powers of the chief justice to form benches.

In a letter to the top court's registrar, the senior puisne judge said that the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) cannot issue administrative direction against the judicial order.

“I was astonished to receive your circular' bearing No. Registrar/2023/SCJ dated 31 March 2023. The circular purports to negate, undo, disobey and violate order dated 29 March 2023 of a three-member bench of the Supreme Court. passed in Suo Motu Case No. 4 of 2022. The Registrar does not have the power or authority to undo a judicial order, and the Chief Justice cannot issue administrative directions with regard thereto,” read the letter.

Slamming the registrar, he further wrote: “Your conduct demonstrates that you do not have the requisite competence, ability and understanding to hold the office of Registrar. Moreover, a bureaucrat holding the office of the Registrar violates Article 175(3) of the Constitution, which mandates the complete separation of the judiciary from the executive.

The senior judge asked the registrar to withdraw the circular immediately and inform all those who had set it, adding that it was in the best interest of him and that of the Supreme Court.

Justice Isa maintained that the circular refers to a decision of the SC (Suo Motu Case no. 4/2021, PLD 2022 Supreme Court 306), adding, “If you had read it you would have realised that it pertained to invoking powers under Article 184 (3) of the constitution (suo motu). However, in the subject case suo motu notice had not been taken by the bench before which it was listed for hearing on March 15, 2023. You lost sight of this obvious distinction and did not appreciate that the case cited in the circular was not applicable.”

The SC registrar “apparently violated the Constitution”, Justice Isa noted and urged the authorities to initiate disciplinary proceedings against him in according with the applicable laws.

This N league trojan horse needs to be dealt with.

 

[Sal12]

Keeping this Justice Faiz Isa in Judiciary itself is damaging top court reputation. This scum will go to any length for his master living in London.

 

[The Accountant]

He should be removed from SC ...

 

[Goenitz]

Only CJ can remove the registrar.

Why not... Let's just install a PDM and military selected judiciary.

 

[Jango]

QFI is digging a huge hole for himself.

 

[Bilal.]

QFI is digging a huge hole for himself.

He wants more properties for his wife not more power.

One year CJP tenure doesn’t matter, cashing it does.

 

[PakAlp]

QFI is digging a huge hole for himself.

He will most likely be the next Chief Justice. PDM is pressurising the current Chief Justice to resign so their own man can over take.

 

[El Sidd]

Courts have neither reputation nor regard for any such alleged reputation. They are historically martial law abetters and treat the constitution as a mistress of their desires.

To top it all, they remain above and beyond accountability whatever that means these days.

These overpaid panchayat actors are only good at spending taxpayer's hard earned money.

He will most likely be the next Chief Justice. PDM is pressurising the current Chief Justice to resign so their own man can over take.

He is 63 years old, will be 64 when Bandiyal retires, that only gives him a year to be CJ. He can cause nuisance to IK if he can come back to power but beside that I don't think he will be relevant in future.

 

[PakCan]

With majority in parliament, I am sure laws can be changed to f with Issa if he becomes chief justice.
