Sindh High Court reviews petitions challenging 26th Constitutional Amendment impacting judicial independence.
The Sindh High Court (SHC) is reviewing petitions challenging the 26th Constitutional Amendment, which critics claim undermines judicial independence by changing the Judicial Commission's structure. Chief Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui emphasized the court's limited jurisdiction, noting that only the Supreme Court can override its authority. The court has issued notices to relevant parties, requiring responses in two weeks. The amendment was contested soon after its passage in parliament.
