Judgment text as reported

SULTAN AHMED VS REGISTRAR, BALOCHISTAN HIGH COURT, QUETTA Criminal liability of a judge for non-judicial acts---Judicial title does not render its holder immune from responsibility even when the criminal act is committed behind the shield of judicial office---Immunity from criminal liability does not extend to non-judicial acts, and thus, a judge cannot in any way escape criminal liability and can be arrested.
