Islamabad: The Registrar Office of Islamabad High Court (IHC) Thursday responded to Senator Faisal Vawda's letter.

The Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) approved the appointment of Justice Babar Sattar as a judge after a discussion, this court does not keep a record of the discussion in the Judicial Commission.
The Registrar's Office has also replied Faisal Vawda that the High Court's press release explained that Justice Babar Sattar had told the then Chief Justice that he was a green card holder.
