The appointment of the new Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) is underway, with the Supreme Court (SC) registrar submitting three names to the parliamentary committee for consideration. This comes after the law ministry requested the SC office to provide the names of the three most senior judges of the apex court.
Following the 26th constitutional amendment, a special parliamentary committee will convene today to review the potential candidates as CJP Isa is set to retire on October 25. The committee, comprising members from both the government and opposition, includes political figures like Senator Azam Nazir Tarar and Ahsan Iqbal, as well as legal experts like Barrister Ali Zafar.
This crucial appointment process is vital for the judiciary, and the committee members, including PPP leaders and representatives from other political parties, will play a significant role in selecting the new CJP. Stay tuned for updates on this important development.
