A full court reference was held on Monday in honour of retiring Peshawar High Court (PHC) judge Miftahuddin.
In his address, Justice Miftahuddin Khan said the judiciary has emerged as a symbol of confidence. Although we are confronted with corrupt forces, a strong judiciary can ward them off, he added.
Born in 1951, Justice Miftahuddin Khan was selected as a civil judge in 1977. After serving as a district and sessions judge in several courts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, he was given the post of PHC registrar and then elevated to the position of additional sessions judge in 2009. He served there for two years before he became a high court judge in 2011.
Condolence
A condolence reference was held for late PHC chief justice Sardar Fakhr-e-Alam who breathed his last on January 8. He was 84.
Alam became a PHC judge in 1979 and served as the chief justice from September 1987 to February 1991.
“Justice Alam’s judgments gave guidance to others and laid down golden principles in criminal law,” said CJ Khan.
