The Registrar Supreme Court has placed under suspension Muhammad Yousaf Jan, Judicial Assistant, working in the Record Section of the Court and has further initiated disciplinary proceedings against him under the Supreme Court (Appointment of Officers and Servants and Terms and Conditions of Service) Rules, 1982.
According to a press release issued here on the allegation against the officer was that he contributed to the publication of false/misleading news story to the effect "Documents on immunity stolen from house of Supreme Court official" with a view to sensationalise a non-issue. The suspension order states that he acted in a most irresponsible/unprofessional manner, which is contrary to office discipline and rules of code of conduct.
Prior to this, his explanation was called and his reply was found unsatisfactory and full of contradictions. Therefore, he has been placed under suspension. It is pertinent to mention that Yousaf Jan Marwat is a Judicial Assistant working in Record Section of Supreme Court, Islamabad, had reported to police regarding burglary incident at his residence on March 03, 2012 which created media hype and some misleading stories were also attributed to the Supreme Court.
As per Police report, he informed the police that the locks of his house were broken but nothing was found missing. In his explanation however, he stated that two perfumes and some study and research material were missing, but he asked the police not to make it part of the complaint. Further, he also stated that he stressed on the police to proceed with the matter confidentially and secretly. This perhaps aroused unnecessary suspicion and speculative reports in the media.-PR
