Islamabad: President Asif Ali Zardari has approved the de-notification of Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri as a judge of the Islamabad High Court, on the advice of the Prime Minister. The de-notification has been issued in compliance with the decision of the Islamabad High Court, which declared his appointment as a judge to be illegal and ordered him to vacate office.

According to Radio Pakistan, the decision to de-notify Justice Jahangiri follows a verdict by the Islamabad High Court. The court had ruled that his appointment did not adhere to the legal requirements, prompting the need for his removal from the position.

Justice Jahangiri had been serving in the Islamabad High Court before the recent developments led to the revocation of his appointment. This move underscores the adherence to judicial protocols and the importance of maintaining legal standards in judicial appointments.
