“Judicial Commission to Discuss Supreme Court Judges Appointment Amid Controversy”

The Judicial Commission of Pakistan is set to hold a meeting on Monday to discuss the appointment of eight new judges to the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The appointment process has been controversial due to disagreements over the seniority of judges. The commission has called for the submission of names of senior judges from Pakistan’s five High Courts to assist in the selection process. The meeting will determine whether the appointments will be made immediately or if further consultations are required. The dispute began when four senior judges of the Supreme Court requested the delay of the appointment process, arguing that the formation of a full court could lead to complications. Senator Ali Zafar has also requested a postponement of the meeting.
