The motive for the attack is still under investigation

Kharan: Former Balochistan High Court chief justice Muhammad Noor Meskanzai was gunned down outside a mosque in Balochistan’s Kharan area on Friday, police said.
Unidentified assailants opened fire at him outside the mosque, which left Maskanzai gravely injured. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo expressed grief over the demise of the “brave and fearless judge”.
Quetta Bar Association President Ajmal Khan Kakar condemned the incident and announced a boycott of the courts along with mourning for three days.
“We strongly condemn this incident and demand that the killers must immediately be arrest and brought to book.”
A profile of Meskanzai on the Balochistan High Court Justice’s website said he was born on the 1st of September 1956, at Kunri, District Kharan.
Justice Meskanzai took oath as chief justice of the High Court of Balochistan on December 26, 2014 and later became the chief justice of the Federal Shariat Court.
