In response to claims of electoral fraud, Justice Faiz Esa has led the charge to call a consultative conference to decide whether to open an investigation. Justice Manzoor Ahtesham, Justice Yahya Afridi, Justice Ayesha Malik, and Justice Athar Minallah are at the meeting, which is presently taking place in his chambers. After the consultation, a decision regarding whether to move forward with a formal inquiry is anticipated, in light of the ongoing evaluations of the allegations against the Rawalpindi Commissioner.
Participants are thoroughly analyzing the charges to see if there is enough evidence to warrant an official probe. Justice Faiz Esa dismissed the charges against him as baseless during a quick pre-meeting media briefing and emphasized the need to provide evidence to back up any claims made. He noted that the accused commissioner had presented no substantial proof.
In the Pakistani justice system, the judiciary’s commitment to accountability, fair elections, and legal transparency is reaffirmed by the consultative meeting. The country’s legal system and democratic integrity will be greatly impacted by the outcome of this meeting.
