Background:
Justice Musarrat Hilali was sworn in as the first woman chief justice of the Peshawar High Court (PHC) on April 1, 2023. She is a senior puisne judge of the court and will serve in the office until the appointment of a regular chief justice by the Judicial Commission of Pakistan.
Justice Musarrat Hilali becomes first woman chief justice of Peshawar High Court
Justice Qaiser Rashid Khan retired as PHC chief justice on Thursday, making way for Justice Hilali’s appointment. Until a chief justice is appointed by the judicial commission, a judge, usually the senior puisne (senior most after the chief justice) steps into the role.
If appointed as regular chief justice, Justice Hilali would be the second female judge to serve on that post in any of the high courts. Earlier, Justice Syeda Tahira Safdar was appointed as the chief Justice of Balochistan High Court in 2018.
She received her law degree from Khyber Law College, University of Peshawar, and was enrolled as an advocate of district courts in 1983. She was enrolled as an advocate of the high court in 1988 and that of the Supreme Court in 2006.
Justice Hilali has earned several distinctions in her career — first as a civil society activist and member of the bar and then her elevation to the bench. Known as an outspoken human rights activist, she remained office-bearer of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan and also headed its KP chapter on different occasions.
Justice Hilali’s appointment is a historic moment for Pakistan, as it paves the way for greater gender equality in the country’s judiciary.
