Pakistan SC Moves to Stop Bill Meant to Curb Chief Justice's Powers
Ignoring calls to stop interfering in the domain of parliament, Pakistan’s Supreme Court on Thursday stopped operationalisation of a bill aimed at clipping the powers of the chief justice. The lawmakers on Monday passed for the second time the Supreme Court (Practice and Procedure) Bill 2023 to dilute chief justice’s power to take suo motu action and form a panel of judges for hearing of cases.
