Justice Shams Mahmood Mirza, a senior judge of the Lahore High Court, has tendered his resignation due to “personal reasons”, sources said.
Appointed as an additional judge in 2014, Justice Mirza’s superannuation was scheduled for March 6, 2028.
His resignation comes just two days after the National Assembly passed the 27th Constitutional Amendment, making changes to the judicial structure and military command.
The move follows the resignations of Supreme Court judges Justice Mansoor Ali Shah and Justice Athar Minallah, who had issued letters strongly criticising the 27th Amendment.
This is a developing story and is being updated accordingly.
