ISLAMABAD: A petition has been filed in the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) seeking initiation of action against Justice Farrukh Irfan Khan of the Lahore High Court (LHC) under Article 209 of the constitution for his alleged indulgence in money laundering, misuse of office and accumulating illegal assets. Former bureaucrat Nazar Chohan has filed this petition through his counsel barrister Syed Javed Iqbal Jaffri, making justice Farrukh Irfan Khan, Pakistan Bar Council and the people of Pakistan respondents. The petitioner has taken plea that Justice Farrukh Irfan Khan siphoned off money to offshore accounts through money laundering and opened secret accounts. Name of Justice Farrukh Khan also appeared in Panama Papers disclosures among those involved in stashing money to offshore companies illegally. Despite a serving judge of the LHC, he is running his law firm in Lahore and Dubai. He neither got suspended his license nor he tendered resignation from membership of bar as per code of ethics of the superior judiciary and laws of the Pakistan Bar Council. He also kept on obtaining directives from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in important and sensitive cases. The standard of living of Justice Farrukh Irfan Khan is beyond his known sources of income. He was appointed as judge of LHC despite the fact that he had not done any practice in high court and he lacked the experience of trial and appeal cases. The petitioner has appealed to the SJC to summon Justice Farrukh Irfan Khan and he be disqualified for any constitutional office for violating the laws. The petitioner has attached 25 documents with his petition. a
