LAHORE: Lahore High Court Judge Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani has resigned from his position for personal reasons, according to sources, although further details about the circumstances surrounding his resignation were not immediately available.
Sources said Justice Kayani had stepped down from his judicial position. However, no additional information was available regarding the reasons behind the decision or the next steps in the judicial process.
Justice Kayani was transferred from the Islamabad High Court (IHC) to the Lahore High Court (LHC) as part of judicial transfers approved earlier this year.

The transfers formed part of broader changes involving judges serving in different high courts across the country.
Justice Kayani’s resignation comes after his transfer to the Lahore High Court. However, the available information does not establish any connection between the transfer and his decision to resign.
Further details regarding the resignation, including its formal processing and any subsequent developments, were not immediately available.
The circumstances surrounding the resignation remain unclear, and additional information is awaited.
