Pakistan Bar Council to Nominate New JCP Member
The Pakistan Bar Council has summoned its session on Wednesday, February 26, to nominate its representative in the judicial commission. Sources have said that senior lawyer Ahsan Bhoon will likely be nominated as a member of the JCP to replace Akhtar Hussain.
Akhtar Hussain has tendered resignation from the judicial commission over the issue of the judge’s transfer and seniority.
In an informal chat, Akhtar Hussain said that he did not agree with the Pakistan Bar’s stance about judges’ seniority and transfer and thus thought it appropriate to step down.
In his resignation letter, Akhtar Hussain Advocate said the Pakistan Bar has nominated him three times as a member of the judicial commission and he had performed his responsibilities as best as possible.
He said he could not further work owing to disagreement over recent judicial appointments.
“I am sending a copy of my resignation to the Pakistan Bar Council and request the appointment of a new member in my place as per the constitution,” the resignation letter read.
“I express my thanks to the Chairman Pakistan Bar over his trust,” the letter added.
