District and Sessions Court Judge Humayun Dilawar, notable for his conviction of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in the Toshakhana case, has recently faced a significant career setback. News has emerged that he has been demoted to the position of Officer on Special Duty (O.S.D).
IHC calls the judge
The development stems from a decision by the Islamabad High Court (IHC), which ordered the demotion. The decision, outlined in a notification issued by the IHC Additional Registrar under the guidance of Chief Justice Aamir Farooq, instructs Additional District and Sessions Judge Humayun Dilawar to now report to the Islamabad High Court.
This move has ignited discussions within legal and political circles, as Judge Humayun Dilawar’s demotion raises questions about the role of judiciary independence and its dynamics with political figures.
