Faiz Essa will not become the Chief Justice

Qazi Faez Esa

Justice Qazi Faez Isa is a senior judge in Pakistan and currently serves as a judge in the Supreme Court of Pakistan. He was born on October 26, 1959, in Quetta, Pakistan. Justice Isa is known for his independent and principled decisions and his commitment to upholding the rule of law. His father was one of the 19 founding members of Muslim League in Pakistan. The only one from Baluchistan.

A report said in 2015 about Qazi Faez Esa,

On November 22, 2018, a two-judge SC bench, comprising Justice Qazi Faez Isa and Justice Musheer Alam, reserved its judgment against the terror tactics of Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan and closed the hearing of the case that was initiated on suo motu on November 21, 2017. During the proceedings, the bench dished out severe criticism to the attorney general, media regulator, and other stakeholders.

In its conclusions to the judgment, the court directed the federal and provincial governments to monitor and prosecute those advocating hate, extremism, and terrorism. It also ordered the defense ministry and respective chiefs of the armed forces to initiate action against armed forces personnel found to have violated their oath. It has been two years since this judgment was issued, and unfortunately, not much has changed.

The judgment also noted that the Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has taken to commenting on political matters, and the military must never be perceived to support a particular political party, faction, or politician. It highlighted the importance of keeping intelligence agencies away from political matters.

The perception that ISI may be involved in or interferes with matters with which an intelligence agency should not be concerned with, including politics, therefore was not put to rest.
