ISLAMABAD – Teenage son of Islamabad High Court Judge Muhammad Asif was involved in fatal road accident that claimed the lives of two women. The tragedy did not end there. Allegations soon emerged that the judge had used his influence to sway the families of the victims and secure bail for his son.
Justice Asif now made headlines as a complaint has been filed against him in the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) over alleged misconduct linked to deadly road accident involving his teenage son.
The complaint, lodged by Colonel (retired) Inamur Rahim, Advocate, alleges that two women were tragically killed in a traffic collision caused by the judge’s 16-year-old son, Abuzar. Disturbingly, the vehicle involved had reportedly not been cleared through customs at the time of the accident.
The petitioner claims that Justice Asif exploited his powerful position, using state machinery to pressure the families of the deceased. Shockingly, the complaint asserts that statements from the victims’ families were recorded in a “covert manner,” after which bail was inexplicably granted to the accused teen.
Colonel Rahim argues that judges are expected to uphold the highest standards of integrity, ethics, and character. He accuses Justice Asif of violating this sacred code by depending on administrative influence rather than demonstrating genuine empathy toward the grieving families.
The complaint calls on the Supreme Judicial Council to launch a full-scale investigation into the matter and, if the allegations are proven true, to remove Justice Asif from office.
As of now, neither Justice Asif nor the Islamabad High Court has issued any comment on the explosive allegations, leaving the public and legal circles in suspense.
The son of Islamabad High Court Justice Mohammed Asif was granted bail after hitting and killing two young women with SUV near Pakistan National Council of Arts.
The victims, part-time event workers riding a scooter, died instantly. The accused fled the scene but was later traced to a hospital and taken into custody. During court proceedings, the victims’ families forgave him, prompting the magistrate to approve bail.
The case, filed under manslaughter and rash driving charges, has sparked public outrage over accountability, echoing a similar 2022 Islamabad incident involving the daughter of a Supreme Court judge who was acquitted after a hit-and-run.
