He said he decided to resign because of the “highly unjustified suspension” and “disgraceful” treatment of the CJP by the government. In his resignation statement he said that keeping in view the “precarious and extraordinary” situation of the country and being a member of the legal community he was unable to ignore recent events and inclined to quit his office because the present government had no regard for the Constitution and rule of law.
