Supreme Court’s senior puisne judge Mushir Alam is retiring tomorrow (Tuesday) after serving on the country’s superior courts for 22 years.

Justice Alam was appointed as an additional judge of the Sindh High Court in April 1999.

He was among those SHC judges who had refused to take oath under November 3, 2007 provisional constitutional order (PCO), promulgated by military ruler General Pervez Musharraf.

He had also declined an offer from the last PPP government for his restoration under the so-called “Naek formula” presented by PPP’s legal wizard Farooq H Naek.
