ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Newly appointed Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice Yahya Afridi has reconstituted the Practice and Procedure Committee including Justice Munib Akhtar in it.
The Supreme Court Registrar issued the notification in this regard.
The three judges committee including CJP Yahya Afridi, Justice Mansoor Ali Shah and Justice Munib Akhtar would constitute benches to hear different cases.
Earlier, former CJP Qazi Faez Isa expelled Justice Munib Akhtar from judges' committee and replaced him with Justice Aminuddin.
It was said that Justice Aminuddin Khan stood in the fifth position on the seniority list.
The reshuffle came in the wake of the Practice and Procedure Ordinance 2024, which was signed into law by President Asif Ali Zardari.
The Act provided that the chief justice of Pakistan will constitute a three-member committee “comprising the Chief Justice of Pakistan and two next most senior Judges, in order of seniority” to hear “every cause, appeal or matter before the Supreme Court.”
