Reference against Judges: SC Bar Council divided on protest call.

SC Bar Council seems split on the issue of protest against Government’s reference against judges.

According to the reports of Baaghitv, Supreme Court Bar Council seems divided on the protest against government decision of filing a reference against Supreme Court judge, Justice Qazi Faez Isa. SCBA president Amanullah Kanrani announced protest on 14 June, while General Secretary Azmatullah Chaudhry speaking in a press conference at Lahore Press Club said, SCBA takes decision taking input from each member and decision of a single member can’t be imposed. He termed the call of protest on 14th June by SCBA president, as his personal decision not the decision of SCBA. Reference against justice Qazi Faez Isa is at Supreme Judicial Council (SJC), therefore the matter is sub-judice.
