Qazi Faez Isa, the Chief Justice of Pakistan, remained faithful to his earlier position of not applying for an extension in tenure. Only a few days back, Justice Isa came out quite strongly to a question posed on a statement made by a journalist regarding sympathy expressed by Rana Sana. How people had to say no if all other judges got extension orders and then became chief justice isa this one sang trumpets extension could not bow. Justice Isa answered that instead of running around in circles, he advised or issued a challenge to Raja Sanaullah that he should rather come out and speak to him directly.

Justice Isa elaborated on the past president’s meeting where Azam Nazeer Tarar, Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, and the Attorney General were present. He made it clear that Jui is a petty and incapable of coercion actor. During the meeting, it was said that all Chief Justices could have their terms for a longer period. Justice Isa paused for a moment and made it clear to the other gentlemen that in case they would like to make prolongations to their ones there would be no objection from his side however he wouldn’t be going for any prolongation on his side. He was quite clear that he did not know even about the fact whether he might be dead on the following day thus reinforcing that he would not apply for any extension.
Delay in the Responding of the Letters Issued By the Judges
About a particular issue of the letters submitted by six judges, Chief Justice Isa said that the issue in question needed to be agendaed. The reason for the delay in constituting a bench to take up this issue was the nonavailability of Justice Musarat Hilali who was away due to health reasons. This caused a further delay in the hearing of the letters which only made matters worse.
Abominable Government’s Confirmation on Chief Justice’s Position.
Let’s also add that this clarification by Chief Justice Isa was consistent with what Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar had opined in the National Assembly rejoinder. On this occasion, Tarar added that he had no intention of extending the tenure of Chief Justice Isa. This government confirmation supports Justice Isa’s consistent stance on the matter as far as information to the general public is concerned.
Reactions From the Public and the Professionals
The hard position taken by the Chief Justice has attracted a lot of attention and debate from the legal and political spheres. By putting this stand in writing, Justice Isa has tried to clear any clouds concerning his reign and concentrate on the administration of justice. Different court practitioners who admire his dedication to judicial propriety backed his choice.
To sum up, baldly, Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa has again reiterated his position that he will not apply for an extension. However, discussions or suggestions to the contrary do not yield any results. He still performs his judicial work with the certainty that the limit set for him, without moving for any self-extension, will be consistent as originally designed.
