The Supreme Court of Pakistan's Constitutional Bench, led by Justice Aminuddin Khan, is affirming its power to take suo motu action despite changes from the 26th Constitutional Amendment. The court is handling multiple cases including those on undisclosed foreign bank accounts, looted money recovery, and terrorism. The bench has clarified that while the amendment altered the procedure, the court retains the authority to initiate suo motu actions, which are now heard by the constitutional bench.
