Ex-CJP Saqib Nisar Took A Suo Motu On His Last Day As Well

The previous CJP took a suo motu notice on the lack of gas supply to the community stretching across five kilometre in Dakhni Oil Field in Attock.

Lahore (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 19th January, 2018) Former Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar took a suo motu at the last day at his office.

According to details, the previous CJP took a suo motu notice on the lack of gas supply to the community stretching across five kilometre in Dakhni Oil Field in Attock.

Justice (r) Saqib Nisar had ordered the Petroleum secretary to submit a report on February 4.

The former CJP took this notice on the last day of his office upon a complaint registered in Human Rights cell.

Meanwhile, in his last decision as the CJP, Saqib Nisar had ordered to transfer the charge of Sheikh Zayed Hospital to the Federal government.

A five-member larger bench headed by CJP Nisar held the hearing of the case on the structure of hospitals under 18^th amendment on Thursday.

In view of the bench decision, the charge of Sheikh Zayed Hospital in Lahore has been transferred to the federal government.

The court verdict said the required legal procedures were not adopted to take the charge of the hospital.

The 18^th amendment has been misinterpreted.

The verdict said that the federal government has the authority to build and run hospitals.

It further stated that three hospitals and museum in Karachi were also illegally handed over to province, ordering to transfer the charge of these hospitals to the centre.

“No law can stop the transfer of these hospitals to the centre,” it said.

During the hearing, the CJP remarked, “I always tried to give lawful and just judgment.”

He thanked everyone for their love, adding that he remained a part of the bench for 20 years but never hurt anyone.

Nonetheless, he apologised if he hurt somebody’s feelings.

The CJP then left the court after hearing the last case of his career.

Justice Asif Saeed Khan Khosa has taken oath as 26th Chief Justice of Pakistan after his predecessor Justice Mian Saqib Nisar completed his stint on January 17.
