SC declines suo motu notice on rigging allegations against CJP Isa

The Supreme Court of Pakistan has decided not to take suo motu notice on the allegations of election rigging leveled by Rawalpindi Commissioner against Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa.

Reliable sources revealed that this decision was reached after a consultation among the judges, including Chief Justice Isa, himself on Saturday.

The allegations, which involve Chief Justice Isa’s purported involvement in poll rigging, were expected to be deliberated upon during a scheduled hearing in an election-related case on February 19.

Sources suggested that there is a possibility of the Rawalpindi Commissioner’s case being considered within the framework of this pre-arranged case.
