An open letter from Justice Sayyed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi to the Chief Justice and all Supreme Court (SC) judges, in response to misconduct complaints against him, was described as “disgraceful” treatment by the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC). The SJC had given Justice Naqvi a show-cause notice and directed him to respond within two weeks. Justice Naqvi had sought recusal of specific judges and challenged the proceedings against him, even submitting a fresh notice to the SJC. In the open letter, Justice Naqvi questioned the actions of the SJC and highlighted a perceived lack of impartiality and bias. He also criticized the withholding of necessary documents for his defense. The letter raised concerns about the conduct and proceedings of the SJC and questioned the fairness and legality of the process. Justice Naqvi emphasized his commitment to challenging the proceedings and protecting his reputation and the reputation of the judiciary. The letter ended with a plea for the Supreme Court of Pakistan to uphold its principles and stand for justice.
