ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC), Thursday, barred the entry of operatives of intelligence agencies within the premises of courtroom.

IHC judge Justice Tariq Mahmood Jahangiri took the decision which was confirmed by a police official posted at the IHC.

The decision was taken after a letter by six IHC judges sent to the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) alleging “interference” of intelligence agencies in the affairs of the courts.

It was March 26 when six judges of the IHC including Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani, Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri, Justice Babar Sattar, Justice Sardar Ejaz Ishaq Khan, Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir, and Justice Saman Rafat Imtiaz wrote a letter to the SJC, led by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, expressing concerns about the “interference” of intelligence agencies in the affairs of the courts.

The judges underscored the absence of clear guidelines within the council’s prescribed code of conduct for judges regarding the appropriate response to incidents that encroach upon judicial independence.
