Justice Mansoor excused himself from sitting on the special bench


Islamabad: Supreme Court Justice Mansoor Ali Shah said that people are watching our actions and history never forgives.
A letter written by Justice Mansoor Ali Shah has come to light, quoting British lawyer, social philosopher, author and judge Sir Thomas More.
The letter was written in the context of a tax case bench constituted by the Practice and Procedure Committee. Justice Mansoor excused himself from sitting on the special bench and said that people are watching our actions and history never forgives.
He stated that it was written earlier that he would not be a part of the special benches until the full court sits for the amendment ordinance.
It is pertinent to note that the last hearing of the tax revision case was held on October 4 when a three-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa heard the case. Justice Mansoor Ali Shah and Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan were ordered to be included in the bench.
Justice Mansoor wrote a dissenting note in the central tax case. It was decided to include him in the revision case.
Even earlier, Justice Mansoor had expressed reservations about the amendment ordinance and left without attending the Practice and Procedure Committee meeting.
Justice Mansoor Ali Shah wrote a letter to the Judges Committee explaining the reason for refusing to join the committee and said that the Practice and Procedure Ordinance was brought in haste, within a few hours of its implementation, this ordinance was notified to the committee. It was reconstituted and no reason was provided for removing the second most senior judge, Justice Muneeb Akhtar, from the committee.
