Dispelling an impression of pendency of 350 references in SJC on Saturday the top court’s spokesperson Shahid Hussain Kamboyo said that only 28 references including two presidential references are pending for adjudication at the moment.
He said, “Since the last few days, discussions on electronic and print media convey an impression that around 350 references are pending with the Supreme Judicial Council. The figures repeatedly quoted by various people are not only erroneous but also misleading and contrary to the facts”.
He informed that a total of 426 complaints / references were received in the SJC saying all the references were processed and after going through various stages of process as per “The Supreme Judicial Council Procedure of Enquiry 2005”, as many as 398 cases have been disposed of.
