ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Friday declared former Islamabad High Court (IHC) judge Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui’s dismissal as “illegal”.
A five-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa and comprising Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan, Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail, Justice Syed Hasan Azhar Rizvi and Justice Irfan Saadat Khan, announced the reserved verdict in a 23-page judgment.
The top court nullified the Supreme Judicial Council’s decision as well as the then-president’s notification on Siddiqui’s dismissal.
“Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui should be considered a retired judge of the IHC and will be entitled to all benefits and pension,” stated the court.
