Dear Mr. Isa (I refrain from using the title ‘Justice’ as I believe you do not merit this designation),
I am compelled to express some harsh truths to you. In my view, you are a discredit to judiciaries worldwide, having blatantly forsaken your solemn vow to uphold Pakistan’s Constitution and safeguard the liberties and rights of its people. (Reference)
You identify yourself as Justice Qazi Faez Isa, yet I suggest you relinquish this title in favor of ‘Justice Dramabaz’ for the following reasons:
- Inadequacy as a Qazi: Contrary to the exemplar Qazi Sirajuddin of Bengal, your actions do not align with the true qualities of a Qazi. In Charles Stewart’s ‘History of Bengal’, a case before Qazi Sirajuddin in 1490 epitomizes genuine justice. Faced with a moral dilemma involving the Sultan, the Qazi prioritized divine justice over royal wrath. (Reference 1, Reference 2)
- Your apparent fear of displeasing Pakistani generals, in contrast to Sirajuddin’s reverence for divine judgment, underscores your deviation from the Qazi ideal.
- Misnomer ‘Faez’: The name ‘Faez’, meaning favor or grace, seems ill-fitting for someone who, in my opinion, is more a bane than a boon to Pakistan. Your focus on insignificant cases, while neglecting urgent matters like the bail pleas of thousands incarcerated after the events of 9th May, betrays a lack of judicial grace. Furthermore, your perceived allegiance to the Establishment and figures like Nawaz Sharif, as opposed to the popular choice of Imran Khan, further distances you from the essence of ‘Faez’. (Reference)
- Disparity with ‘Isa’: The name ‘Isa’ (Jesus), synonymous with sacrifice for others, stands in stark contrast to your perceived self-preservation and compliance with the Establishment. Your reported demeanor in court lacks the dignity, serenity, and tranquility expected of a judge. (Reference)
- Your rejection of protocol and official amenities, while seemingly dramatic, casts you more as a ‘dramabaz’ than a justice. (References: Tribune, Business Recorder, YouTube, Daily Parliament Times)
Sincerely,
Justice Markandey Katju
