Justice Tariq Jahangiri has challenged the Islamabad High Court’s decision declaring his degree case maintainable, filing an appeal in the Federal Constitutional Court. Justice Tariq Jahangiri's appeal seeks to have the high court’s ruling annulled. The Islamabad High Court had previously declared the case against Justice Jahangiri, concerning the authenticity of his academic degree, as maintainable. Legal observers note that the appeal marks the next stage in a high-profile judicial matter that has attracted considerable attention in Pakistan.

Justice Jahangiri’s legal team argued that the high court’s decision was flawed and that the case should not proceed. The Federal Constitutional Court will now examine the appeal to determine the next course of action. The case underscores ongoing scrutiny over judicial qualifications and has generated debate over transparency and accountability within Pakistan’s judicial system.
