President approves dismissal of Justice Mazahar Ali Naqvi

ISLAMABAD (INP): Dismissal of former Supreme Court judge Mazahar Ali Naqvi was approved by President Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday.

The approval was given by the president after the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) found Justice Naqvi guilty of misconduct.

After withdrawal of the previous notification by the Ministry of Law accepting Naqvi’s resignation as a judge, a new notification terminating his services was issued.

The latest notification cites Naqvi’s judicial misconduct, as determined by the Supreme Judicial Council, as the reason for his dismissal.
