In a swift transition following his retirement, former Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa left for the UK just one day after stepping down from his position on the Supreme Court. Isa, accompanied by his wife, departed from Islamabad Airport on Friday, adhering to standard security protocols, which included an assigned protocol staff.
Justice Isa completed his term on the Supreme Court bench on Thursday, marking the end of a notable tenure characterized by significant legal rulings and contributions to the judiciary. His prompt departure follows a trend among high-ranking officials; former Director General of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) General Nadeem Anjum settled in Dubai just a week after his retirement, while former Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa also moved to Dubai shortly after stepping down.
Justice Isa’s exit has sparked discussions about the post-retirement choices of prominent figures in Pakistan’s judiciary and military. As he embarks on this new chapter in the UK, the legal community reflects on his legacy and the implications of such rapid relocations for public life in Pakistan.
