In a major development, the Supreme Court Wednesday “sustained” the Supreme Court (Practice and Procedure) Act 2023 - which deals with the chief justice's powers - as “constitutional” with a 10-5 majority.
The full court, comprising all 15 judges of the apex court, had reserved the verdict earlier today on the pleas challenging the law after conducting five marathon hearings.
While reading out the order, CJP Isa noted that five members of the bench - Justice Ijazul Ahsan, Justice Muneeb Akhtar, Justice Sayyed Mazahir Ali Akbar Naqvi, and Justice Ayesha A Malik, and Justice Shahid Waheed - had opposed the law.
