Justice Faiz Isa voluntarily disclosed his, wife and children's assets

 Justice Qazi Faez Isa, a judge of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, has voluntarily disclosed his assets, as well as those of his wife and children, in an effort to dispel allegations of corruption and financial impropriety. The move is seen as a bold step by the judge, who has been at the center of a controversy over his assets for several years.

Justice Isa's decision to disclose his assets comes after years of allegations and counter-allegations regarding his financial affairs. In 2019, a presidential reference was filed against him by the government, alleging that he had not disclosed his assets in his tax returns and that his wife and children had purchased properties abroad using undeclared income.

The reference was challenged by Justice Isa in the Supreme Court, which ultimately ruled in his favor, stating that the allegations were baseless and had been brought against him for political reasons. However, the controversy surrounding the judge's assets continued, with some quarters continuing to question his financial affairs.

In an effort to put the matter to rest, Justice Isa and his family have now voluntarily disclosed their assets, which include properties in Pakistan and abroad, bank accounts, and investments. According to the disclosure, Justice Isa's net worth is around PKR 64 million (approximately USD 400,000), while his wife's assets are valued at PKR 25 million (approximately USD 160,000).

The assets disclosed by Justice Isa and his family have been verified by an independent auditor, who has confirmed that they are all legally acquired and declared in accordance with the law. The move has been widely praised by legal experts and civil society groups, who have commended the judge for his transparency and accountability.

The disclosure of assets by Justice Isa and his family is a significant development in the ongoing debate over corruption and financial impropriety in Pakistan. It is widely believed that corruption is a major issue in the country, with many public officials and politicians accused of amassing wealth through illegal means.

In recent years, there have been several high-profile cases of corruption and financial impropriety, including the Panama Papers scandal, which exposed the offshore holdings of several Pakistani politicians and businessmen. The scandal led to the ouster of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who was found guilty of corruption and sentenced to prison.

The disclosure of assets by Justice Isa and his family is seen as a positive step towards greater transparency and accountability in the country's judiciary. It is hoped that other public officials and politicians will follow suit and disclose their assets, in order to promote greater trust and confidence in the country's institutions.

However, there are concerns that the disclosure of assets may not be enough to dispel all allegations of corruption and financial impropriety. Some quarters have called for a more rigorous and comprehensive investigation into the financial affairs of public officials and politicians, in order to ensure that they are held accountable for any wrongdoing.

Despite these concerns, the disclosure of assets by Justice Isa and his family is a welcome development in the ongoing fight against corruption and financial impropriety in Pakistan. It is hoped that it will serve as a model for other public officials and politicians, and contribute to a culture of transparency and accountability in the country's institution
