Islamabad: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa on Sunday constituted full court headed by him for hearing the Supreme Court (Practice and Procedure) Act 2023 on Sept 18.
The Supreme Court (Practice & Procedure) Act of 2023 was suspended on April 13 by an eight-judge larger bench of the high court, led by the former Chief Justice of Pakistan, Umar Ata Bandial.
The Supreme Court (Practice and Procedure) Act hearing has been set up by Justice Qazi Faez Isa, Pakistan's 29th chief justice, who was sworn in today.
A supreme court bench will hear arguments related to the Supreme Court (Practice and Procedure) Act 2023 on Monday (tomorrow).
This law required the formation of benches on constitutional issues of public interest by a committee composed of three senior judges.
The law restricts the Chief Justice of Pakistan's ability to form benches on his own and to take suo motu notice. A three-member committee made up of the chief justice and the two senior most judges of the court is given the authority to take notice suo motu.
The act includes the right to appeal and attempts to establish open processes in the supreme court.
After President Arif Alvi had returned the bill, the PDM government had passed it in the joint session of parliament on April 10.
