Pakistan's federal government plans to amend Constitution's Article 175A to alter Judicial Commission composition and chief justice tenure, addressing concerns of transparency and favoritism.
Pakistan's federal government is considering amending the Constitution's Article 175A to change the composition of the Judicial Commission of Pakistan, which was established under the 18th Constitutional Amendment. The government aims to strike a balance in the judicial appointment system and has proposed possible amendments on the chief justice's tenure. The Prime Minister has directed the introduction of a constitutional amendment for judge appointments, potentially leading to a change in the composition of the Judicial Commission. The government's proposed amendments come in response to concerns that the current judicial elevation process is opaque and favoritism-driven.
