KARACHI: The post of the Customs and Taxation Court judge, which had been lying vacant due to the retirement of special judge Soofia Latif, would soon be filled.
Sources told Customs Today that the Ministry of Law had sent a letter to the Prime Minister’s Secretariat, seeking re-appointment of Soofia Latif as a special judge on contract basis. They said that now an order had been issued from the secretariat and she would assume the charge of her office soon.
It may be mentioned that hearings at the Customs and Taxation Court Karachi remained suspended for many weeks with cases piling up with each passing day and the litigants are facing problems due to unavailability of a judge in the court.
