The government of Pakistan later proposed his appointment as judge of the Federal Shariat Court but he declined to work on that post and a notification concerning his retirement was issued in August 1994.
However the Supreme Court of Pakistan delivered its verdict on 24 March 1996 citing his retirement as "unconstitutional".
Later a second notification concerning his retirement as chief justice of the Lahore Hugh Court was rescinded by the president.
After that notification, he continued as chief justice of the Lahore High Court unit 29 July 1995.
The government of Egypt and Saudi Arabia invited him for participating in a high powered delegation.
