Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa of the Supreme Court has decided to auction the luxurious vehicles allocated to the Chief Justice’s office, signaling a strong opinion against the importation of luxurious vehicles for constitutional positions.
The official announcement came through a letter from the Supreme Court Registrar, who communicated the decision to the cabinet secretary and Punjab chief secretary, instructing them to proceed with the auction as per Chief Justice Isa’s directive.
The vehicles scheduled for auction include a 2020 Mercedes Benz, valued at Rs61 million, and a bulletproof Land Cruiser provided by the Punjab government.
The Supreme Court registrar’s letter emphasized, “The decision reflects a stance against the importation of luxury vehicles for constitutional positions.
Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa refrained from utilizing either of the specified vehicles, and funds generated from the auction should be directed towards public transport initiatives.”
This move not only underscores Chief Justice Isa’s commitment to responsible use of resources but also his dedication to contributing to the greater public welfare.
By opting for the auction route instead of personal use, Chief Justice Isa sets a precedent for judicious use of public resources.
The decision aligns with a broader philosophy of prioritizing public interest and ethical use of state assets. The funds generated from the auction are expected to be redirected to public transport initiatives, reflecting a conscious effort to contribute to the enhancement of public services.
As Chief Justice Isa leads by example, his decision to part with these lavish vehicles echoes a commitment to values of accountability, transparency, and public service. The auction serves as a tangible manifestation of the judiciary’s dedication to promoting principles that prioritize the welfare of the citizens and the responsible use of public resources.
