JSC revealed Judge Naeem is being investigated in relation to messages sent to a Viber group consisting of senior officials of the judiciary, in relation to the distribution of flats for judges. JSC said the messages allegedly contained strong words regarding certain actions that are needed to ensure judges receive flats.
