Senator Farooq H Naek has resigned from his position as a member of the Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP) on Wednesday. Appointed through Article 175A(2) of the Constitution, Naek represented the Pakistan Peoples' Party (PPP) within the Commission. In his resignation letter, Naek cited personal reasons for his departure, stating that he was unable to fulfill his responsibilities as a member of the JCP.
Despite his resignation, Naek expressed gratitude for the honor and privilege of serving in the Commission. Naek's involvement with the JCP included participation in proceedings for the appointment of judges to high courts and the Supreme Court. As a lawyer, Naek represented PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari before the Supreme Court in a presidential reference and the judicial murder case of former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
Naek has held the position of Senator from Sindh since 2003, serving as the law minister after the 2008 general elections and again in April 2012. During his tenure as law minister, Naek defended the federal government in the high-profile graft case against then-President Asif Ali Zardari. In 2012, Naek fulfilled a Supreme Court directive by sending a letter to Swiss Legal authorities to reopen the case.
