Headed by the chief justice, a 13-member full court is present in the court room
Islamabad: The Supreme Court is hearing a petition of the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) against the denial of reserved seats in assemblies for women and minorities.
A 13-member full court comprising Justices Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, Munib Akhtar, Yahya Afridi, Aminuddin Khan, Mandokhail, Muhammad Ali Mazhar, Ayesha Malik, Athar Minallah, Syed Hasan Azhar Rizvi, Shahid Waheed, Irfan Saadat Khan and Naeem Akhtar Afghan is presiding over the hearing.
