Imaan Mazari Files Grievance Over Inaction on Harassment Complaint Against IHC Chief Justice
She says mandatory deadlines under the 2010 workplace harassment law were ignored.
Overview
- Mazari submitted the grievance on Friday to Justice Inaam Ameen Minhas, designated as the competent authority under the Protection against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Act, 2010.
- She contends that Justice Saman Rafat Imtiaz was unlawfully replaced as the initially appointed authority after constituting a three-member inquiry committee.
- Mazari alleges continuing reprisals, citing the IHC chief justice’s refusal to transfer her client Dr. Mahrang Baloch’s case away from his court following her complaint.
- She says her Sept. 13 request to preserve courtroom CCTV footage has gone unanswered and asks for immediate intervention to secure the evidence.
- The dispute stems from a Sept. 11 hearing exchange that drew condemnation from bar bodies; Dogar says his words were misinterpreted, and a separate reference seeking cancellation of Mazari’s licence is pending at the Islamabad Bar Council.
