Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faiz Isa, who is nearing the end of his tenure, may issue rulings that could significantly impact the government or the establishment.
Senior journalist and former Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Najam Sethi shared this perspective on the program “Sethi Se Sawal” on Samaa News.
According to Sethi, as Justice Isa prepares to exit his position, he appears to be taking a firmer stance, possibly to cement his legacy or restore his reputation before stepping down. Sethi suggested that the Chief Justice’s actions could lead to major legal decisions that might challenge the current administrative powers.
Sethi’s comments highlight a common occurrence within judicial circles, where outgoing officials may use their final days in office to assert their judicial independence or address unresolved issues. This scenario posits that Justice Isa, recognizing the limited time he has left in office, is motivated to make significant legal contributions that could have lasting impacts on Pakistan’s governance landscape.
These insights from a seasoned journalist like Najam Sethi provide a critical look at the dynamics at play within Pakistan’s highest judiciary and the potential implications of Justice Isa’s final actions as Chief Justice.
