Supreme Court senior puisne judge Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah has raised significant concerns about recent amendments to the Supreme Court’s Practice and Procedure Ordinance. He detailed his objections in a three-page letter to the reformed committee.

The PML-N government’s amendments have expanded Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa’s powers to select judges for high-profile cases.

Following the ordinance, CJP Isa adjusted the committee, replacing Justice Munib Akhtar with Justice Aminuddin Khan, the fifth senior judge, overlooking the fourth, Justice Yahya Afridi.

He has called for a full court meeting to review the changes, stressing the need for independence, transparency, and cooperation within the judiciary.

Justice Shah reaffirmed his commitment to judicial independence, stating he would abstain from committee meetings until the full court assesses the amendments.

His letter points out deep tensions within the judiciary and raises critical issues about the balance of power in Pakistan’s highest court. He advocates for maintaining transparency and collaboration to preserve judicial independence amidst political and administrative pressures.

The 70-page verdict, penned by Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, elaborated upon its July 12 order, in which it declared the opposition Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) eligible for reserved seats in the national and provincial legislatures.
