The Supreme Court has fixed for hearing an appeal filed by Islamabad High Court (IHC) judge Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri, who was barred from judicial work by the IHC in connection with a fake degree case.

A five-member constitutional bench, headed by Justice Aminuddin Khan, will hear the case on September 29.

The bench also includes Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail, Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, Justice Hassan Azhar Rizvi, and Justice Shahid Waheed.

Justice Jahangiri had challenged the IHC Division Bench’s decision before the Supreme Court, which formally admitted his plea and allotted it case number 4247 on September 20.

It may be recalled that Justice Jahangiri is among six judges who earlier lodged a complaint with the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) against the Chief Justice, alleging interference by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in judicial affairs.

The complaint also mentioned the discovery of surveillance cameras near judges’ chambers and even in a bedroom, though the matter reportedly yielded no action when conveyed to the chief justice.
