The Supreme Court of Pakistan has issued a detailed four-page judgment rejecting the Punjab government’s petition to transfer cases linked to the May 9 incidents. The apex court found the petition lacking sufficient merit and stressed the constitutional obligation to protect judicial officers from administrative interference.

In its ruling, the Supreme Court emphasized the authority given to the Lahore High Court’s Chief Justice under Article 203. This provision empowers the Chief Justice to protect judicial officers from administrative interference, ensuring judicial independence remains uncompromised.

The Lahore High Court dismissed a reference against former Rawalpindi Anti-Terrorism Court Judge Ijaz Asif due to insufficient evidence. The Supreme Court upheld this decision, clarifying that personal remarks, whether critical or complimentary, cannot influence future judicial proceedings or justify case transfers.

Furthermore, the court explained that comments on state officials’ conduct fall within the Chief Justice’s administrative jurisdiction and do not constitute valid grounds for transferring judicial cases. The court stressed that unsubstantiated allegations or personal opinions are insufficient reasons for case transfers.

Appeal Rejected by Supreme Court

Initially, the Punjab government petitioned the Lahore High Court to transfer these cases but was unsuccessful. Subsequently, the government’s appeal to the Supreme Court was decisively rejected, affirming the lower court’s judgment and effectively ending the transfer petition.

This Supreme Court decision establishes a significant precedent, safeguarding judicial autonomy against administrative interference. Legal analysts note that similar protections are applied more rigorously to related cases, ensuring efficient adjudication and upholding legal integrity following the May 9 incidents.

Consequently, this ruling attracts considerable attention from legal experts and stakeholders, fueling ongoing discussions about balancing administrative oversight and judicial independence.
