In June 2021, the Supreme Judicial Council dismissed the reference against Justice Isa, ruling that he had fully disclosed his assets and that the reference was filed with mala fide intent. The decision was widely celebrated by Justice Isa’s supporters, who saw it as a victory for the rule of law and judicial independence in Pakistan.
It is important to clarify that Sarena Faez, the wife of Justice Qazi Faez Esa, has her own independent source of income and has been filing her tax returns both in Pakistan and in England, where she holds dual citizenship. It is therefore unfair to cast aspersions on her character or suggest that she is somehow benefiting unfairly from her husband’s position.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that Justice Qazi Faez Esa has been cleared of all charges that were leveled against him after a rigorous and extended trial by the Supreme Court of Pakistan. This means that any doubts about his honesty or integrity are unfounded and baseless.
While everyone is entitled to their own opinions, it is important to base those opinions on facts and evidence, rather than mere speculation or hearsay. Justice Qazi Faez Esa is a highly respected judge who has dedicated his career to upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of all citizens. Any attempt to undermine his credibility or reputation without proper evidence is not only unfair but also damaging to the integrity of the judicial system as a whole.
On the 50th Anniversary of the 1973 Constitution of Pakistan, political forces including Pakistan Democratic Movement showcased their strong asset, which can be seen as a positive step towards a more promising future for Pakistan. Home is where the heart is, and after all the hard work, Qazi Faez Isa is finally home.
