Outgoing Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa said on Friday he may have made many wrong decisions but Allah knows the truth. Justice Isa was addressing a full court reference held in his honour in Courtroom No 1 of the Supreme Court.  Justice Isa shared his experiences and feelings with those who attended the reference. He thanked all his staff, including his gurad Fayyaz and the registrar, for their support during his stay in the office. He referred to the practice of taking notes on pieces of papers during hearing of cases. He said the notes helped him decide a case according to the facts.

“We have to adjudge who is right and who is wrong. The paper may favour a contestant (party) and go against the other,” he added. "It is our duty to give justice," Justice Isa said. Chief Justice-designate Yahya Afridi paid Justice Isa tribute and said he learnt a lot from him.  He said he was sad that he (Justice Isa) was leaving but glad that “you get time to spend with your family.” Justice Afridi said Justice Isa was an excellent human being. He disagreed with Justice Isa on many benches but “we played our role judiciously.”
