Islamabad High Court (IHC) Judge, Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui, remarked on Friday that the Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Saqib Nisar does not have any right to insult judges in open court.

Siddiqui, who is facing a misconduct reference in the Supreme Judicial Council, was talking about the controversial incident involving Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Saqib Nisar and an additional sessions judge in Larkana last week. 

He stated that the Chief Justice has every right to dismiss their legal judgments but "if he doesn’t respect us, then we reserve the right to come to our institution’s rescue." 

Justice Siddiqui further said that the entire matter has been turned into a joke.
