JSC clears Criminal Court Judge Abdul Bari Yousuf of ethical misconduct
26 Jul 2014, 3:50 PM
The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has cleared Criminal Court Judge Abdul Bari Yousuf of allegations of ethical misconduct and lifted his suspension after more than one year and five months.
The judicial watchdog revealed in a statement on Thursday (July 24) that the commission decided there was “insufficient concrete evidence” to prove wrongdoing following consideration of a report prepared by an investigating committee.
The JSC had suspended Bari in February 2013 pending the outcome of an investigation after a complaint was submitted the previous month.
Bari has reportedly been receiving full pay and allowances since his suspension.
