Imaan Mazari files complaint against Judge Dogar with IHC panel.

Lawyer Imaan Mazari accuses a top judge of sexist behavior and intimidation, sparking a major judicial misconduct investigation.

Islamabad – (Special Correspondent / Web Desk) – Of course. Here is the revised version of the content, using easy-to-pronounce words and a clear, human tone for readers of all ages.

Lawyer and activist Imaan Mazari has taken a big step. She has filed official complaints against a powerful judge, Chief Justice Sarfraz Dogar. She sent these complaints to two important groups that oversee judges in Pakistan.

This action comes after a loud argument in the judge’s courtroom last week. During that meeting, the judge warned Imaan he could hold her in contempt of court. It was reported that he also used threatening words, saying he would “get ahold of her.” Many groups of lawyers were upset by this. They said the judge should be removed from his job.

Imaan Mazari posted on social media that she filed two complaints. One is with a committee that looks into harassment at the Islamabad High Court. The other is with the top council for judges in the country.

Her complaint uses a law that protects women from harassment at their workplace. She has asked the committee to look into what the judge did.

In her papers, she says the Chief Justice was sexist, mean, and threatening toward her. She wants the committee to say that he is guilty of harassment. She also wants them to tell the higher council to take action.

The complaint says the judge suddenly started yelling at her for no good reason. She felt very insulted and small because he abused his power. Her husband and other lawyers in the room were also shocked and angry. They all could not believe what was happening.

This was not the first time the judge has been unfair to her. In a past case, he made things personal by asking her, “Why are you so stubborn?” in front of everyone.

She says what happened last week is part of a pattern where the judge tries to scare her. He has used his high position to bully her in public. This kind of behavior is very wrong for a judge, she says.

She had to work in a place that felt hostile and threatening because of him. Everyone in the courtroom saw how she was treated.

Instead of saying sorry, the judge talked about her again the next day. When she was not even in the room, he threatened to start a contempt case against her. He also called her a “child,” which felt disrespectful and was meant to make her seem small.

Using sexist comments while also threatening her with the power of the court is very shocking, her complaint says. A chief justice should protect people’s rights, not take them away.

She argues that what he did is exactly what harassment means. It made her work environment scary and offensive. This is a form of discrimination because she is a woman.

There is a huge difference in power between a chief justice and a lawyer. The complaint says this power imbalance is what made the judge think he could speak to her that way.

What happened shows that the judge has an old-fashioned, patriarchal way of thinking, the complaint argues. It seems he believes women should be controlled. This is especially bad for a court that is supposed to ensure dignity and fairness for everyone.

In another matter, a different court has called for Imaan and her husband to appear. They must go to court on Wednesday about a case involving social media posts. The police say the posts were against the state. The police have already given their first report to the judge.
