Dr Farogh Naseem – the federal government’s counsel – welcomed her decision to disclose the source regarding the purchase of properties, adding that he has no personal issues with Justice Isa and his family.

Justice Isa maintained that his wife was also concerned as to why the Supreme Court Judicial Council did not ask her about the properties.
