Islamabad: In the first meeting of the Judicial Commission, the federal government has the slight advantage of its representation, 12 members including four senior judges will participate in the first meeting.
The real challenge is whether the four judges will have a single opinion or the government has managed to divide them. A senior official said that the government would have no problem in nominating Chief Justice Afridi as the senior judge of the constitution benches.
Lawyers believe that the constitution bench should consist of five or seven senior-most judges. A former attorney general says it is clear that the executive and parliament are bitterly opposed to the judiciary, which has been weakened under former chief justice Qazi Faiz Isa. It’s done.
Justice Mansoor Ali Shah and Justice Muneeb Akhtar are the best legal minds of the country. In the current situation, they should avoid decisions on controversial constitutional issues and focus on improving laws in tax and other areas for the time being.
