Lifetime Security Granted Only to Retired Judges, Not Widows: Supreme Court

Islamabad: The Supreme Court has clarified that lifetime security is granted only to retired judges under a presidential order, and not to their widows.

In an official statement, the court explained that retired judges are entitled to lifetime security under Presidential Order No. 7 of 2018. However, the inclusion of widows in this entitlement was mistakenly mentioned in a letter sent to the Ministry of Interior.

The clarification added that the reference to providing security to widows has now been withdrawn, as the 2018 presidential order does not cover them.

The Supreme Court emphasized that only retired judges qualify for lifetime security, while their widows are not entitled under the law.
