Pakistan High Court judge who granted relief to Imran Khan, alleged ISI interference removed over fake degree

The Islamabad High Court has annulled the appointment of Judge Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri following revelations of a fraudulent law degree. The court discovered significant discrepancies in his academic qualifications, notably the use of a counterfeit enrollment number. Jahangiri previously gained attention for granting relief to former Prime Minister Imran Khan in a separate legal matter, raising concerns about potential interference from Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). This decision comes amid ongoing scrutiny of judicial appointments in Pakistan, highlighting the importance of integrity within the legal system. The court's action reflects a broader commitment to uphold the rule of law and maintain judicial credibility, particularly given the contentious political climate surrounding Khan's legal challenges.
