ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court Thursday ordered former Islamabad High Court (IHC) judge Shaukat Azizi Siddiqui to nominate former ISI chief General Faiz Hamid and others in the plea against his removal.
The top court five-member bench Thursday resumed the hearing of the plea filed by former Islamabad High Court (IHC) judge Shaukat Azizi Siddiqui against his dismissal.
The bench led by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa comprised Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan, Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail, Justice Hasan Azhar Rizvi and Justice Irfan Saadat Khan heard the plea.
The proceedings were broadcast live on the top court’s website as well as on its YouTube channel.
