Pakistani High Court Judge Resigns Citing Executive Interference in Judiciary
Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani resigned from Pakistan's Lahore High Court, citing concerns over the judiciary's compromised independence due to the 26th and 27th Constitutional Amendments. He highlighted executive interference in judicial appointments and transfers, which he believes has eroded public confidence. Kayani, the fourth senior judge to resign over these issues, expressed concern for ordinary litigants neglected by the system. His resignation follows disputes over judicial transfers and reflects broader tensions between the judiciary and executive authorities.
