Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani quits LHC over health, conscience
Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani told the president he was leaving the Lahore High Court for health after surgery and for conscience, also criticising recent constitutional changes.
Lahore High Court judge Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani resigned on Wednesday.
He cited personal grounds, including post-surgery health and conscience.
His letter argued the 26th and 27th amendments weakened high-court independence.
He had moved from the Islamabad High Court to the LHC in April and later sat alone at Rawalpindi.
He said he had decided more than 23,000 cases during his judicial career.
