LHC judge Mohsin Akhtar Kayani resigns over personal reasons

Lahore High Court Judge Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani has resigned from his position, according to sources.

Sources said the judge stepped down for personal reasons. No further details about the circumstances surrounding his resignation were immediately available.

Justice Kayani was transferred from the Islamabad High Court to the Lahore High Court as part of judicial transfers approved earlier this year.

In April, the Judicial Commission of Pakistan approved the transfer of Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani to the Lahore High Court. It also approved the transfer of Justice Babar Sattar to the Peshawar High Court and Justice Saman Rafat Imtiaz to the Sindh High Court.

The transfers were part of changes involving judges serving in different high courts. Justice Kayani’s resignation comes after his transfer to the Lahore High Court.

Further details regarding the resignation and the next steps in the judicial process were not immediately available.
