Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa of Pakistan has declined the offer of protocol and an official car typically provided to the Chief Justice. Instead, he chose to arrive at the Supreme Court in a regular 1800 cc vehicle without any special arrangements for his route, only accompanied by standard security measures shared with his fellow judges.
Unusually, the plaque outside Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa’s office chamber bore the inscription “Justice Qazi Faiz Isa” rather than the traditional “Chief Justice of Pakistan.” This marks a departure from established tradition, setting a precedent.
Upon his arrival at the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa was warmly welcomed by a large gathering of Supreme Court employees who presented him with a bouquet.
In a brief address, the Chief Justice emphasized the Supreme Court’s role in resolving people’s issues, urging the court’s staff to treat visitors as hosts would treat guests. He expressed gratitude for their support and stressed the importance of keeping the doors of justice open and providing assistance to those seeking resolution of their problems.
