flag Pakistan plans to establish a Federal Constitutional Court to ease Supreme Court workload, per the 27th Amendment.

flag Pakistan is reviving plans to create a Federal Constitutional Court under the proposed 27th Constitutional Amendment, aiming to streamline constitutional rulings and ease the Supreme Court’s workload. flag The new court, initially with seven judges and a 68-year retirement age, will not be housed in the Supreme Court building, with options including the Islamabad High Court or Federal Shariat Court buildings. flag Justice Aminuddin Khan is expected to lead it, and most initial judges will come from the current Supreme Court constitutional bench, with additions from high courts in Balochistan and Sindh. flag The reform, rooted in a 2006 agreement, seeks to strengthen constitutional governance amid concerns over judicial independence and executive influence.
