Details requested: SHC asks judges about nationality check online:-




KARACHI: 
In the footsteps of public representatives, the judiciary is looking within its own institution for those having dual nationality.
In this regard, the judicial officers performing their duties in the superior and subordinate courts have been asked to submit details as to whether they hold the nationality of only Pakistan or any other country as well.
Sources told The Express Tribune that the registrar of the Sindh High Court has issued forms, asking the judicial officers of the high court, including the judges, to furnish details of their nationality.
Fifteen days time has been given to submit the forms seeking details of nationality of the judges.
Meanwhile, the member of the high court’s inspection team also issued similar forms to all the judicial officers in the province through the concerned district and sessions judges.
“The district and sessions judges have also been directed to furnish details of their nationality and submit the forms to the high court through an inspection team member,” the sources added.
