About George Baxandall Constantine

Lived 1902 – 1969 (aged 66–67). George Baxandall Constantine was a British politician and judge.

Sir George Baxandall Constantine (22 June 1902 – 8 September 1969) was an English and Pakistani jurist who served as the Chief Justice of Sindh High Court, and prior to that, Governor of Sindh for a brief tenure. In 1955, he was elevated as the justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan in 1955 and served until 1960.

Considered original textualist in his jurisprudence, he gained public importance when he termed Sir Malik Ghulam's attempt to dissolve the Constituent Assembly illegal, ruling in favour of the Speaker of the National Assembly, Maulvi Tamizuddin to restore Prime Minister Nazimuddin's administration.

In his famous Irish accent, he went on to declare the assembly as sovereign but Chief Justice Munir overturned Constantine's decision in the historic Maulvi Tamizuddin case. He joined the Indian Civil Service in 1926, serving in the judicial services of the empire.
