The government has decided to appoint permanent Chief Justices for all four high courts in Pakistan, including the Islamabad High Court. Sources say that nominations for Chief Justices will be requested for all provincial high courts by May 4. This move aims to provide stability and continuity in the judiciary. The Judicial Commission meeting, originally set for May 2, has been rescheduled to May 19. In this meeting, the commission will discuss the appointments for the Chief Justices of the Balochistan and Sindh High Courts. They will also consider appointments for the Peshawar and Islamabad High Courts. Additionally, the Judicial Commission will review the names of three senior judges for these permanent positions. This process is crucial to ensure that experienced judges lead the high courts across the country. Currently, there is an ongoing dispute over judicial seniority in the Islamabad High Court. A constitutional bench, led by Justice Mohammad Ali Mazhar, will hear this case on April 22. This situation demonstrates the challenges involved in appointing permanent Chief Justices in Pakistan’s judicial system.
