ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court Judge Justice Sayyed Muhammad Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi has resigned a day after the top court rejected his plea to stop proceeding of Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) against him over alleged misconduct.
He sent his resignation to the President Dr Arif Alvi.
“It was an honour to be appointed and to serve as a Judge first of the Lahore High Court, Lahore and then as the Supreme Court of Pakistan. In the circumstances which are a matter of public knowledge and to some extent public record, it is no longer possible for me to continue to serve as a Judge of the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Considerations of due process also compel so,” the top court judge states in his resignation sent to President Arif Alvi.
