A three-member Supreme Court bench has summoned Senator Faisal Vawda and MQM-P MNA Mustafa Kamal. The bench took notice after Vawda questioned Islamabad High Court judges’ claims of intelligence agency interference during a press conference.

Subsequently, MNA Kamal echoed concerns about alleged judiciary shortcomings and advocated for establishing ethical standards for judges.

During the hearing, Chief Justice Isa emphasized that the judiciary, being a public institution, is not his personal entity. He maintained composure despite severe criticism and underscored the importance of avoiding character assassination of the courts.
