ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Tuesday notified that Justice Qazi Faez Isa’s cell phone has been hacked.

The SC Public Relation Office in a statement said: “It is intimated to all and sundry that the cell phone of Justice Qazi Faez Isa has been hacked and there is suspicion that misguiding communication can be made from his lordship’s number to anyone with ulterior motives, therefore, the communication purportedly made from his lordship’s cell phone, which his lordship had not sent, may be treated as fake and false.”

A 10-member bench on 19-06-2020 through a Short Order unanimously quashed the presidential reference and abated the proceeding before the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) against Justice Qazi Faez Isa.

However, the majority (seven judges) directed the commissioner FBR to issue notices under the ITO to the spouse and children of Justice Qazi Faez Isa regarding the acquisition of the three foreign properties; while the Council was asked to consider the matter by invoking its suo motu powers with or without there being a report filed by the chairman, FBR.
