FULL COURT REFERENCE OF TWELVE HON’BLE JUDGES OF THE LAHORE HIGH COURT WHO PASSED AWAY DURING THE PAST FIVE YEARS (2004 TO 2009)
By:
NASIRA IQBAL
President Lahore High Court Bar Association
Lahore
Mr. Justice Khawaja Muhammad Sharif, Chief Justice Lahore High Court Hon’ble Judges, Advocate General Punjab, Vice Chairman Punjab Bar Council, Members of the Lahore High Court Bar Association, Families of the late judges.
We have assembled here today to pay homage to ten distinguished Judges of the Lahore High Court who departed this world during the past five years. It has been the tradition of this Court that the achievements of our distinguished judges and colleagues of the Bar are appreciated when they retire from the profession or depart this mortal world, but unfortunately this tradition was not maintained during the past five years. I am grateful to his Lordship Chief Justice Khawaja Muhammad Sharif for reviving this noble tradition and for providing us the opportunity of remembering the accomplishments of our late Hon’ble Judges. I may not be able to do justice to their memory due to paucity of time, but I will try to highlight what we have gained from them during the period that they adorned the bench.
1. Mr. Justice Ch. Muhammad Siddique was born in 1906, He started legal practice in Jallundhar, and won the only Muslim seat in PCS exams. He became Civil Judge in 1936 was elevated as judge of Lahore High Court in 1967 and retired in 1969. Justice Siddique instilled in his children the importance of “Rizk-e-Halal”, honest money. All who knew him vouch for his integrity throughout his tenure as a civil judge, sessions judge and High Court judge. He loved to ride a bicycle. A simple man, his only interest in life was his work, his family and the game of tennis, which he gave up in 1993 not due to ill health but for lack of contemporaries with whom to team up! He passed away in 2004. They certainly don’t make them like that anymore! Of his sons Chaudhry Farooq was twice appointed Attorney General of Pakistan, Chaudhry Asad was elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan three times, Justice Khalil Ramdey is a renowned judge of the Supreme Court and his youngest son is a Chartered Accountant. All are professionals who have done their father proud.
2. Chief Justice Sardar Muhammad Iqbal was a visionary
Hazaaron saal nargis apni bey noori pay roti hai;
Bari mushkil say hota hai chaman main deedavar paida.
