KARACHI, June 26 (TNS): Larkana Additional District and Sessions Judge Gul Zameer Solangi, who faced fury of  Chief Justice of Pakistan, tendered resignation on Tuesday.

In a letter submitted to the Sindh High Court (SHC) registrar, Solangi said he was resigning “due to the humiliating behaviour of the top judge” during proceedings in his court “which were widely aired in the electronic, print and social media”.

Solangi, who had been serving on the post since March last year, added that he was unable to continue serving as a judge after suffering “deep anguish and injury” to his “self-respect and dignity”.

He requested immediate acceptance of his resignation.

On Saturday, Justice Nisar picked up and tossed the mobile phone of the sessions judge after admonishing him for using the device during court hours.
