The Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) recorded statements of four more witnesses during the proceedings against former Supreme Court judge Justice (retd) Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi, and postponed further proceedings for an indefinite period. The five-member SJC with Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa in the chair, continued the proceedings of the complaints filed against Justice Naqvi on charges of misconduct on the second consecutive day. The SJC decided not to summon Justice Naqvi’s son. Chief Justice Isa remarked that the proceedings were being conducted on tax money and noted that two judges, who were members of the SJC, had come from other provinces. He noted that the matter was already pending in the Supreme Court but no injunction orders had been issued. Chief Justice Isa revealed that the open proceedings were being conducted in the matter on an application, adding that there were complaints against some other judges also, which would be heard during the in-camera session. Besides the chief justice, the SJC comprised Justice Sardar Tariq Masood and Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, Lahore High Court (LHC) Chief Justice Amir Bhatti and Balochistan High Court (BHC) Chief Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan.
