PM orders to withdraw curative review reference against Justice Isa
“The reference against Justice Qazi Faez was a revenge against a fair judge,” Sharif added.

Islamabad: Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif Thursday ordered to withdraw the curative review reference against Senior Supreme Court judge Justice Qazi Faez Isa, GNN reported.
According to details, government has decided not to pursue the reference against Justice Qazi Faez owing to which Prime Minister directed the Law Minister to withdraw the curative review reference.
Shehbaz Sharif stated: “Justice Faez Isa and his family were harassed and defamed in the name of the reference”.
On my direction, the government has decided to withdraw the Curative Review Petition against senior most Judge of the Supreme Court, Justice Qazi Faez Isa. The Curative Review was based on ill-will & meant to harass & intimidate the honourable Judge at the behest of Imran Niazi.

“The reference against Justice Qazi Faez was not a reference. It was a revenge against a fair judge,” Sharif added.
The premier said that it was a bloodbath on the independence of the judiciary and a nefarious conspiracy to divide it, which was condemned by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and allied parties even during the opposition period.
He further said that Imran Niazi misused the constitutional office of the President for this criminal act, adding that: “President Dr. Arif Alvi was an instrument and a part of the lie in the criminal attack on the judiciary”.
Lawyers' organizations including Pakistan Bar Council also opposed this reference. We appreciate the views of Bar Associations including Pakistan Bar regarding this reference, premier added.
