Mamoon Kazi

Mamoon Kazi (1938—April 2, 2014) was a Pakistani judge.

Kazi, the nephew of Sindh High Court justice, Mushtak Ali Kazi, was elevated to the Sindh High Court on July 29, 1985. He became the court's chief justice on April 15, 1996. On November 4, 1997, he was selected to sit on the Supreme Court of Pakistan. After General Pervez Musharraf seized power in October 1999, Kazi was among five judges who refused to take office under the first Provisional Constitutional Order in 2000. Since his retirement, Kazi led a quiet life in Karachi, but his name was mentioned in 2013 to be the National Accountability Bureau’s chairperson. He died on April 2, 2014, leaving behind his wife Rehana Kazi, two daughters, and a grandchild.[1]
