Faisal Arab (Urdu: فيصل عرب) is a Pakistani jurist who served as justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, from 13 December 2015 to 4 November 2020.
He was formerly the Chief Justice of Sindh High Court from 17 February 2015 until his appointment to the Supreme Court.[1] who also served as head of a special three-member court to hear the high treason case against former military ruler General Pervez Musharraf in November 2013.
He was among those judges who refused to take the oath as a PCO judge in 2007.[2][3] Justice Arab has been described, by legal observers, as liberal in his jurisprudence and has taken moderate stance on the judicial interpretation when deciding judgements on many cases of importance.[3]
