Former accountability judge Muhammad Arshad Malik, suspended last month over the video leak controversy, was posted as an officer on special duty at the Lahore Sessions Court on Saturday. A notification to this effect was circulated by the registrar after approval by the chief justice of the Lahore High Court.
Judge Malik had been removed from his position after the leak, following which the Islamabad High Court had repatriated him to the LHC, his parent department, for disciplinary proceedings.
“The disclosure and admission made by Mr Muhammad Arshad Malik, district & sessions judge/and former judge, accountability court-II Islamabad, in a press release dated July 7 and the affidavit dated July 11 prima facie constitute acts of misconduct and violation of the code of conduct, which warrant initiation of disciplinary proceedings against him,” a notification issued by the IHC’s acting registrar had said.
