Omar Ayub resigns as member of JCP

ISLAMABAD: PTI’s Omar Ayub Khan Tuesday tendered resignation from the membership of the Judicial Commission of Pakistan, citing ‘multiple’ FIRs and legal cases filed against him.

He has forwarded his resignation to the NA Speaker, bearing date of December 3. He has nominated MNA Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, who is also the party’s chairman, to succeed him in the commission.

“I am writing to formally tender my resignation as a member of the Judicial Commission of Pakistan. This decision has been taken after careful consideration and is necessitated by the multitude of FIRs and legal cases filed against me, which require my immediate and undivided attention.

The current legal challenges hinder my ability to serve the Commission effectively, and I believe it is in the best interest of the institution to allow someone with a clear focus to assume this vital role,” he wrote in the resignation.

Omar Ayub was confident that Barrister Gohar will be a valuable asset to the commission because of his legal acumen, integrity and dedication.

He requested the NA Speaker that his resignation may be processed at the earliest convenience and the necessary arrangements be made for the nomination of Barrister Gohar as Member of the Judicial Commission of Pakistan.
