اسلام آباد اور لاہور میں زلزلے کے شدید جھٹکے

 

Islamabad: A new development has surfaced from the Supreme Court of Pakistan, where four judges have written a letter to Chief Justice Yahya Afridi, raising objections over the approval of Supreme Court rules through circulation rather than in a full court meeting.

According to reports, the judges who signed the letter are Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, Justice Munib Akhtar, Justice Athar Minallah, and Justice Ayesha Malik. All four did not attend the full court session held recently.

In their letter, the judges expressed serious reservations about the procedure adopted. They stated that although they had received a notice for a full court meeting, the draft rules were never presented before the full court for consideration. Instead, only a single-point agenda was shared, which mentioned addressing difficulties arising from the new rules.

The judges argued that until the fundamental objections are addressed, their participation in such a meeting would not be meaningful. They stressed that rules of the Supreme Court are framed under the Constitution, and constitutional steps cannot be carried out through mere circulation.

The letter further questioned why a meeting was convened for amendments if the matter was deemed too unimportant to be placed before the full court. The judges demanded that their letter be made part of the official minutes of the full court meeting and that those minutes should be made public.

The four judges concluded that in their view, the rules approved through circulation suffer from illegality and do not carry constitutional validity.
