Islamabad: Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faiz Isa has inquired whether the federal government has been formed? Who is the prime minister?
In the Supreme Court, the case of appointment of judges in the High Court of Gilgit-Baltistan was heard, in which India’s illegal occupation of Occupied Kashmir was also mentioned.
The Additional Attorney General said that they want to bring Gilgit-Baltistan into the constitutional stream by giving it provincial status, but international conventions are an obstacle.
Chief Justice Faiz Isa remarked that India has usurped Kashmir, has a federal government been formed? Who is the prime minister?
Saad Hashmi, the lawyer of the GB government, replied that the government has not been formed, I have heard that the assembly session will be held on February 29.
The Additional Attorney General argued that it would be appropriate to wait for the formation of the new government, as the Prime Minister is the chairman of the GB Council.
Lawyer Mohammad Ibrahim opined that the Supreme Court had given a decision regarding Gilgit-Baltistan in 2019, the decision of the seven-member bench is related to the current case.
The Supreme Court sent notices to the Gilgit-Baltistan Bar Council and the Supreme Appellate Bar Association for judicial assistance while sending the matter to the Judges Committee for the formation of a larger bench.
The court adjourned the hearing for an indefinite period while directing the parties to submit written submissions.
