Chairman Executive Committee Punjab Bar Council (PbBC) Imran Akram Bodla called for a thorough probe into allegations made by 6 Islamabad High Court (IHC) judges against interference in judicial affairs by the country’s intelligence agencies.
He has termed the allegations quite serious and perturbing and required “serious actions by the judiciary as an institution.” In a press release, Bodla took “serious exception to the undue interference” claimed by the judges. He said the letter from the IHC judges was a matter of grave concern posing a question mark on the existence of a free and independent judiciary. He demanded that the Supreme Court immediately take notice of the allegations leveled by the judges in the letter. He said the alleged interference by secret agencies in judicial matters was condemnable and unacceptable in any case. He said all judges should fulfil their duties according to the Constitution and the law, and take timely action against any interference in judicial matters by individuals or institutions.
