🚨🚨#BREAKING: In a big move , former senior puisne judge #Islamabad high court, after posting currently serving in #Lahore high court #JusticeMohsinAkhtarKayani resigns, citing reason he said “in my considered view, the changes introduced through the Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh Constitutional Amendments have compromised the independence and institutional integrity of the High Courts. I have witnessed what I regard as the executive's growing control over judicial institutions, extending to the appointment and transfer of judges. Such interference has, in my assessment, seriously eroded public confidence in judicial independence and the fairness of the judicial process. Of particular concern is the plight of the ordinary litigant, who is the principal stakcholder in the justice system, yet whose suffering continues to deepen. The needs of those seeking justice have too often been neglected, while other actors have become the beneficiaries of a system intended to serve them. In these circumstances, my conscience does not permit me to continue on the Bench. This is a painful decision, but it reflects my conviction that judicial office must remain inseparable from independence, fidelity to the Constitution, and the protection of human dignity.”
