Gardezi challenged the decision in the IHC, whose registrar raised objections to his plea.During the hearing, CJ Dogar observed that he was part of the JCP and it was unsuitable for him to hear a case challenging its decision.

"I am recusing myself from hearing this plea.

Your petition will be listed for hearing before some other bench in a few days," Justice Dogar told the petitioner.When Gardezi urged him to remove the registrar's objections, the CJ observed that this matter would also be addressed by the new bench.

Justice Dogar is also one of the three judges who were transferred to the IHC in February last year from provincial high courts.
