In an unprecedented move, six judges of the Islamabad High Court sought intervention by the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) against the alleged interference in the working of the judiciary by Pakistan's powerful intelligence agencies.

A letter signed by six Islamabad High Court (IHC) judges demanded the SJC initiate a judicial convention against such interference in judicial affairs.

The six judges who signed the letter, dated on March 25, include 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.
