Justice Sayyed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi — who was facing complaints of misconduct — resigned from the Supreme Court (SC) on Wednesday, saying that it was no longer possible for him to continue due to circumstances which were “a matter of public knowledge”.
The resignation letter, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, was addressed to President Dr Arif Alvi.
“It was an honour to be appointed and to serve as a judge first of the Lahore High court 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,” Justice Naqvi said.
“Considerations of due process also compel. I, therefore, effective today resign as judge of the Supreme Court of Pakistan,” he added.
