Islamabad High Court Removes Judge Over Fraudulent Law Degree After Five Years

The Islamabad High Court removed Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri after a 116-page judgment revealed his law degree was fraudulent, invalidating his appointment. Jahangiri was initially disqualified in 1989 for cheating and later re-enrolled under a different name using another student's enrolment number. Despite multiple opportunities, he failed to provide original documents or a valid defense. The court deemed his elevation to the High Court legally void and criticized his conduct during proceedings.
