ISLAMABAD: Days after he was accused of making illegal appointments in the Islamabad High Court (IHC), Supreme Court judge Justice Iqbal Hameedur Rehman tendered his resignation from the post on Sunday. “I hereby resign [from] from my office,” the apex court judge wrote in a letter addressed to President Mamnoon Hussain. Last month, the apex court had annulled 74 appointments in the IHC, observing that the court’s then top judge, Hameedur Rehman, and administration panel had disregarded their mandate in hiring process. Last week, Islamabad High Court Bar secretary Waqas Malik filed a reference against Justice Hameedur Rehman.
