According to the report of Baaghi TV, the Supreme Court has reserved the verdict in the case of Justice Qazi Faiz Issa.

During the hearing, Justice Umar Ata Bandial said that we are accountable to Allah. We are bound by the constitution and the law. We will do our job according to the constitution and law.

Justice Omar Ata Bandial said that the judges would deliver their verdict at 4 pm if they agreed.

During the hearing on constitutional petitions in the Supreme Court to stay the proceedings of the presidential reference against Justice Qazi Faiz Issa, the FBR submitted the tax record of Qazi Faiz Issa’s wife in a sealed envelope. Judge Faiz Isa’s lawyer also presented the documents in a sealed envelope.

Justice Umar Ata Bandial, who presided over the bench, said he would not pass any order on it. Justice Qazi Faiz Issa’s wife left all the documents on record. Justice Umar Ata Bandial while talking to Farogh Naseem said that you should confirm this.

Munir A. Malik, while initiating counter-arguments, said that the government’s case was not clear. In the Iftikhar Chaudhry case, there were allegations of malice against the Supreme Judicial Council. The Supreme Judicial Council did not rule on malice. Hopefully I won’t have to talk about the malice of the Judicial Council. Justice Qazi Faiz did not attribute his wife’s property to himself.

Munir A. Malik told the court that the husband is responsible for his wife’s assets in the election and NAB laws.

Farogh Naseem said that Justice Qazi Faiz delayed coming to the Supreme Court. Unfortunately, Farogh Naseem has boarded the wrong bus. Instead of the government going to the FBR, the Supreme Judicial Council came. Let the FBR do its job. We have never stopped. Justice Qazi Faiz Issa challenged the reference out of respect for himself and the judiciary.

Munir A. Malik said that we want the judiciary to quash the reference against Justice Qazi Faiz Issa. There is a difference between the orders of the Supreme Judicial Council and the show cause notice. Farogh Naseem said that his real case is not what is in the reference.

The court cited a letter of dismissal of the wife of British judge Justice Gibraltar. Justice Gibraltar had linked himself to his wife’s campaign. Justice Faiz Issa never attributed his wife’s property to himself. In election and NAB laws, the husband is responsible for the wife’s assets.

Munir A. Malik said that it was stated by the public prosecutor that no show cause notice was issued in the Iftikhar Chaudhry case. First of all, there is no mention of show cause notice in Article 209. Secondly, the Supreme Judicial Council had issued a summons to Iftikhar Chaudhry. The Supreme Judicial Council cannot review the conduct and malice of the President. The job of the Supreme Judicial Council is only to determine the facts.

Justice Maqbool Baqir remarked that the question of constitutional protection was very important to the Judicial Council after the show cause notice. Justice Yahya Afridi asked why the Supreme Court was approached after responding to the show cause notice. Munir A. Malik replied that the Supreme Judicial Council could not provide the relief required by Justice Faiz Issa.

He went on to argue that the Prime Minister had no authority to form a new body or agency. The rules needed to be amended to create an asset recovery unit. The TORs of the Assets Recovery Unit are against the law. An institution like the Assets Recovery Unit cannot be created without proper legislation.

It should be noted that the petition filed against the presidential reference against Justice Qazi Faiz Issa was heard in the Supreme Court on a daily basis. Yesterday, the wife of Justice Qazi Faiz Issa had recorded the statement through a video link. Justice Qazi Faiz Issa’s wife has said that 700,000 pounds were transferred abroad through Standard Chartered Bank to buy the property.

The wife of Justice Faiz Issa, while recording the statement on the video link, said that my husband told me that the reference was not about me. It was a difficult time for me. My father is dying. I was married on December 25, 1980.

Meanwhile, the judge’s wife also showed her birth certificate and her old identity card and said that my name is Serena. Little did I know in 1983 that I would buy a property in London 21 years later. After 21 years of marriage I bought a property in London. My computerized ID card was made in 2003. My husband was not a judge at that time. When my visa expired I applied for a new visa. He was not a Supreme Court judge when the second visa was issued. In January 2020, I was issued only one year visa.

After hearing Serena Issa’s statement, the head of the 10-member bench of the Supreme Court said that the court was also satisfied with her statement and the means of purchasing the property. However, the decision has to be made by the concerned authority. A ten-member full court bench headed by Justice Umar Ata Bandial expressed complete satisfaction over the money trail and sources of income from the wife of Justice Qazi Faiz Issa and observed that the matter could not be looked at on merit.

Addressing Serena Qazi, Justice Umar Ata Bandial said that you have to go to the Income Tax or the Supreme Judicial Council to look into the matter on merit.

It may be recalled that Justice Qazi Faiz Issa is the same senior Justice who along with Justice Mushir Alam had pronounced the verdict in the Faizabad sit-in case. The decision also raised questions about the role of Federal Minister for Railways Sheikh Rashid Ahmed and some other government figures. The Pakistani Ministry of Defense had also filed an appeal in the Supreme Court against the decision. In which it was requested that the words used in relation to the Pakistan Army should be removed from the said decision.
