| Decision |
The appeal sought the expunction of the adverse remarks awarded to Mahmoodul Hassan Naqvi for the year 1988. The court found that the Chief Minister had taken cognizance of the representation for expunction and had rightly exercised jurisdiction in expunging the adverse remarks. The appeal was deemed infructuous as the relief sought had already been granted by the Chief Minister's order, and thus it was disposed of with no order as to costs. |
| Summary |
In the case of Mahmoodul Hassan Naqvi vs. Government of Sindh, the Sindh High Court addressed the matter of adverse remarks awarded to the appellant while serving as an Additional District & Sessions Judge. The court examined the procedural aspects regarding the expunction of these remarks, particularly the jurisdiction of the Chief Minister versus the High Court. The case highlighted the tension between judicial independence and administrative authority in handling grievances from judicial officers. The decision underscored the necessity for clear protocols in addressing adverse comments and emphasized that representations from lower judiciary members should be resolved within the High Court framework to uphold judicial independence. The ruling contributed to an ongoing dialogue about the appropriate channels for addressing grievances within the judicial system and the need for legislative clarity on the matter. |
