Govt satisfied with SC's verdict.

Islamabad -- Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Accountability Shahzad Akbar on Friday said that the government was 'satisfied' with the Supreme Court's decision to quash the presidential reference against Justice Qazi Faez Isa, adding that they will not file an appeal against it.

Addressing a press conference alongside Information Minister Shibli Faraz after the short order was released, Akbar said that there were three scenarios in which a judge can be questioned.

'First, a person or department in possession of any information can send it directly to the SJC. Second, the government, through the president, can send a reference to the SJC. Third, the SJC takes suo motu notice.' Akbar said that it was only the SJC that had the domain to investigate matters relating to the superior judiciary. 'You can inform them, but you can't inquire [...] on the basis of this a reference was sent [against Justice Isa]'.
