A full court reference is set to take place on October 25, 2024, to honor Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa as he approaches the conclusion of his tenure. The event, organized by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. and will be attended by senior judges, lawyers, and various legal officials. This traditional gathering is intended to pay tribute to Justice Isa’s contributions to the judiciary.
Chief Justice Isa has had a distinguished career, serving as the 29th Chief Justice since his swearing-in on September 17, 2023. Known for his integrity and commitment to upholding the rule of law, he has been a pivotal figure in many high-profile cases during his judicial career. Justice Isa’s father, Qazi Mohammad Isa, was a prominent figure in Pakistan’s independence movement and a close associate of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, highlighting the legacy of public service in his family.
The full court reference will likely feature speeches from prominent figures in the legal community, including the president of the Supreme Court Bar Association, who has been requested to submit his address in advance. This ceremonial event marks the official farewell to a respected chief justice, whose career spanned significant judicial reforms and landmark decisions in Pakistan’s legal history.
The outgoing CJP will be remembered for his legal acumen and steadfast defense of constitutional values, ensuring a lasting impact on Pakistan’s judiciary(
