Malik Mohammad Qayyum

Malik Mohammad Qayyum (Urdu: ملک محمد قیوم; 18 January 1946 – 17 February 2022) was a Pakistani lawyer who was Senior Advocate Supreme Court and Attorney General of Pakistan.

[3] He was a Judge of the Lahore High Court, which he resigned from after a phone transcript of his was released in which he was alleged to be approached by the then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's government to fix judgement in a case before him involving Benazir Bhutto.

[4] Qayyum rejected pre-arrest bails, terminated temporary injunctions, and granted permissions of FIRs against PPP-connected persons and senior officers.

The PPP said Qayyum (whose brother Pervaiz Malik; a sitting MNA from PM Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-N at that time) was biased.

[11] On 10 March 2008 he rejected a plan by opposition lawmakers to reinstate the country's ousted Supreme Court justices within 30 days of parliament's first session, on the grounds that President Musharraf's dismissal of the judges was legal under the constitution.
