ISLAMABAD: The federal cabinet has approved the withdrawal of the curative review petition against a top court order in the case of Justice Qazi Faez Isa.
Soon after the cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said there was no precedent for the curative review filed against Justice Isa, adding that “it was filed to keep” the judge “under pressure”.
“Justice Isa is a reputable judge and thugs like [former adviser to then prime minister Imran Khan on accountability] Shahzad Akbar treated him unfairly,” he said.
Rana Sanaullah said that a sub-committee has been formed to take action against all those who made “false references” against Justice Isa.
Interior minister told media that the law secretary informed the members of the federal cabinet that no prior approval was taken before the submission of the reference.
“This ruckus was created by Shahzad Akbar and the then law minister,” he added.
