A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Saqib Nisar was hearing the petition filed by Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Senator Taj Haider against the appointment of Bajwa.
According to the petition, the appointment was made without publishing any advertisement and following proper procedure.
The petition stated that Bajwa did not fulfil the required merit, adding the court should nullify his appointment.
Earlier this month, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) had rejected a plea seeking the removal of Bajwa and declared his appointment as per the law.
Twenty two senators mostly from PPP and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had challenged Bajwa’s appointment in the IHC.
Bajwa previously served as the finance secretary of Pakistan from February 2017 to July 2017. He was appointed SBP governor in July 2017 after Ashraf Mehmood Wathra completed his three-year tenure.
