ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has questioned the expected elevation of the fifth senior most justice of the Sindh High Court to the Supreme Court and has demanded that this practice must be discouraged and principle of seniority should be preferred.
Ahmed Shahzad Farooq Rana, Secretary SCBA, in a statement issued here on Friday, said that although criterion for elevation to the Supreme Court is already enshrined in Article 175-A of the Constitution and further validated by court in Re: Supreme Court Bar Association of Pakistan vs Federation of Pakistan (PLD 2002 SC 939) , however the way in which the elevation matters has been dealt in the past and present, has only increased the dilemma.
The Sindh High Court Bar Association had also requested the Chief Justice of Pakistan and other members of the JCP last week to thrash out “transparent criteria” for appointment to the apex court in consultation with all stakeholders. File photo
ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has expressed concern over the proposal to elevate a “junior judge” of the Sindh High Court (SHC) to the Supreme Court, saying that it would raise questions about the capability of the four “senior justices being bypassed”.
In a statement released on Friday, SCBA secretary Ahmed Shehzad Farooq Rana said length of service should be the first yardstick for appointment or elevation of judges.
