Pakistan: Islamabad HC judges allege ISI interference in judiciary
==========

Seven judges of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) in Pakistan have accused the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of interfering in judicial affairs. The judges have written a letter to the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) seeking action against the alleged interference. The letter highlights the pressure from senior ISI officials on judges and their attempts to influence judicial proceedings. The dispute arises after the removal of former IHC judge Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui, who had accused the ISI of determining the constitution of benches at IHC and interfering with proceedings. The judges are seeking guidance from the SJC on how to respond to such interference and whether there is a continuing policy of executive branch interference in judicial affairs.
