ISLAMABAD (The Post) Following the issue over case manipulation, the Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed Additional Registrar (Judicial) Nazar Abbas from his position.
According to a notification issued by the Additional Registrar (Administration), Nazar Abbas has been appointed as an officer on special duty.
According to the statement, Abbas was found guilty of an error in scheduling a constitutional bench case for hearing before a normal bench.
The notification went on to say that the additional registrar’s conduct was a waste of time and resources for the court and plaintiffs. The Supreme Court registrar has been instructed to investigate the situation.
It is worth noting that the court recently issued a contempt notice to the Additional Registrar (Judicial) for failing to schedule cases involving the powers of constitutional and ordinary benches.
A three-member panel, chaired by senior judge Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, heard the case on bench jurisdiction.
