An application filed to take a judge from minorities to fill the vacant post in SC has been rejected by the court on Wednesday. Advocate Supreme Court Zulifiqar Bhutta had filed an application praying that the seat vacated by Justice Javed Iqbal, who retired recently, should be filled by a judge representing minorities.
Registrar SC rejected the application on the ground that applicant has no locus standi, adding that SC was not the proper forum to take up the issue.
