President Dr Arif Alvi on Friday accorded approval to the withdrawal of the curative review reference and Civil Miscellaneous Application (CMA) against the judge of the Supreme Court, Justice Qazi Faez Isa.
The president gave the approval on the advice of the prime minister in accordance with Article 48 of the Constitution.
Dr Alvi also signed his power of attorney in favour of Advocate Supreme Court Anees Ahmed Shehzad.
A day earlier, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif ordered the withdrawal of a curative reference against Justice Qazi Faez Isa.
According to the PM Office statement, the federal cabinet had already approved the withdrawal of the reference in a meeting chaired by the prime minister. The government would not pursue the same for it being baseless and politically motivated.
