Senior Justice (Honourable) Javed Iqbal (Urdu: جاوید اقبال; born 1 August 1936), is a Pakistani judge, professor of law, and jurist who formerly served as the Senior Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan from 2004 until his retirement in 2011. Prior to the appointment at the Supreme Court, Justice Iqbal shortly tenured as the Chief Justice of the Balochistan High Court which lasted only a month.
During his career as jurist, he has heard and led high-profile cases, including the case of suspension of fellow chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry and the trial of missing persons in 2012. His credential led to the government appointing him as a chairman of the Abbottabad Commission to find out the preludes and causes of the unilateral raid conducted by the United States in Abbottabad, Khyber Pakhyunkhwa Province of Pakistan in 2011. After carefully studying the case, Justice Iqbal authored the papers over this issue which was submitted to the Prime Minister of Pakistan in 2013.
