A subsequent notification of the IHC registrar said that the judge gave the Judge Inaam Ameen Minhas as the competent authority under the law, replacing Judge Imtiaz, who was appointed for the role in July. Judge Minhas made his oath as judge of IHC in January.
According to the 2010 Law, the Investigation Committee conducts research on accusations of harassment and then sends it to the competent authority for the determination and final request.
The complaint asked the IHC Research Committee to initiate an investigation.
He also said that the Committee declared that it was “subject to sexist, discriminatory, hostile, threatening, intimidating and unreasonable behavior at the hands of the president of the defendant of the Supreme Court” and declares that the justice to do was “guilty of harassing the plaintiff and, therefore, the appropriate recommendations to the competent authority (IE SJC) against the defendant according to the defendant according to the defendant according to section 4 (4) of the 2010 Law of the Law of 2010 “.
He also asked the committee to grant any other relief “considered fair and reasonable in circumstances” in his favor.
The complaint said the judge had been involved in an “unnecessary unnecessary diatribe” against her during the procedures of last week.
“Even after the incident, the plaintiff felt insulted, humiliated and degraded as a result of the shameless abuse of authority of the defendant’s president. The feeling was shared by the husband’s husband and the law fellow who were present in the courtroom and witnessed the exchange. A collective sense of disapproval and anger were expressed in the unprecedented scenes.
“Unfortunately, While The Respondent Chief Justice Had Earlier Bade Said, Adding That in an Earlier Case Involving Journalist Asad Ali Toor on August 12, “The Respondent Chief Justice Had passed inappropriedrie and staff remarks towards The Complainant, Including: ‘Why Are You, so stubborn? Ali Chattha, witnessed the same. ”

The president of the defendant justice has been repeatedly, in the court of the court full of litigants, lawyers, judicial personnel and police officers, aggressive (already often in a vulgar way) Power (what is in power (what is in which the power is realized (what is in power (what is, what is in which the power was performed (what is in power (what is, what is in which the power was carried out (which is in which the power was carried out (what is, what is in which the power was realized (what is, what is in which the power is made (what is done. Pakistan, not to affirm his personal fief) ”.
In addition, he said that “apart from the fact that this conduct is completely improper of a judge, the plaintiff was clearly subject to a hostile, degrading and threatening work environment by the defendant President, in whose court he was required to appear before for his client. The treatment was given to the plaintiff, and the husband of the plaintiff and colleagues lawyers.”
The complaint pointed to the public conviction and criticism following the “sexist, discriminatory and threatening comments”, referring to the statements of several lawyer associations.
He added that instead of “recognizing and apologizing for his threatening, sexist and intimidating conduct, the president of the Supreme Court once again made more sexist comments against the plaintiff, in his absence, in his courtroom, in a fully disconnected case, the next day of September 12 … the defendant justice continued to abuse his authority/position once again threatening the one he demanded in his absence that he would begin in his absence. Cut.
The complaint said that the “sexist comments taken together with repeated threats of” contempt of court “and” not wanting to destroy “the” girl’s career “are not only frightening, but impressive of someone who has the office of the President of the Constitutional Court, aimed at maintaining the fundamental rights of all citizens.”
He argued that the judge’s conduct, “apart from being clear misconduct, is also within the scope of harassment in the workplace. Not only the president of the defendant justice made clear his points of view on women in open courts, but also abused his position of authority to harass, intimidate, threaten and wet the complaint in a place where he was required every day under his work/profession.”
He said that the conduct of the President of the Supreme Court was within the definition of “harassment” in the 2010 law.
“The conduct of the President of the Supreme Court in September 11 and 12 constitutes the ‘verbal communication’ of a ‘sexually degrading attitude’ and a ‘derogatory’ expression that caused ‘interference with labor performance’ and also created ‘an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment’. In addition, the sexist, the discriminatory and threatening behavior of justice, the main justice also constitutes’ discrimination on the basis of the basis of the basis of the basis of the basis of the basis of the basis of the basis of the basis of the basis of the basis. gender ‘what is not necessarily necessary.
He added that Mazari was “forced to feel extremely uncomfortable in his workplace and was at the end of the hostile, threatening and sexist language used against him by the president of the defendant in an open court” in the presence of lawyers, police officers, journalists and litigants.
The complaint said that the “balance of power” between the two parties was also “evident.”
“The continuous abuse of authority by the defendant justice has been clearly fed by the imbalance of power among the parties, which led to their additional misogynist statements/comments on September 12, in the absence of the plaintiff,” he added.
The complaint said that Thursday’s incident was a “vision of the opinions of the president of the president about women, particularly how the possessions of the husbands consider them, to be controlled and reigned when he feels that they are exceeding their gender roles.
“The conduct of the defendant’s president is the clearest manifestation of a patriarchal mentality, which cannot be tolerated, especially in the superior judiciary that is destined to safeguard the constitutional rights of citizens, including the right to basic human dignity to the conduct of the defendant on September 12, another manifesta of its patriarchal mentality was required … once again, once again, once again, once again, I once again try to That the behavior of the behavior of the humila is carried out, once again, the behavior in which the behavior is a greater manifest for once again the manifesto once that a large amount of the Comp is carried out for the humiliation of the humiliar and the demand.
