Pakistan's Supreme Court questioned its own impartiality in reviewing a controversial constitutional amendment altering judicial appointments and tenure.
On October 13, 2025, Pakistan’s Supreme Court heard challenges to the 26th Constitutional Amendment, which reformed judicial appointments, fixed the Chief Justice’s tenure at three years, and established a parliamentary committee to recommend the next CJP.
A constitutional bench questioned whether it could impartially rule on the amendment that shaped its own composition, sparking debate over the need for a "full court" of pre-amendment judges.
Justices raised concerns about impartiality, while petitioners argue the amendment undermines judicial independence and was passed without proper parliamentary approval.
The court has not yet decided on forming a full bench, and the hearing was adjourned.
