Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa called the Attorney General to the rostrum and remarked that a larger bench was constituted today regarding the case, the decision of the case was delivered by a five-member bench in the past.
Justice Munib Akhtar wrote a letter to the Registrar Supreme Court, which was read by CJP Qazi during the hearing.
Chief Justice remarked: “The law requires the same bench to hear the review appeal. I replaced the former Chief Justice, Justice Aminuddin was included in place of Justice Ijaz-ul-Ahsan, we will request Justice Munib Akhtar to sit in the bench”.
The CJP requested Justice Munib to join the bench and said that he will try to bring him back to the bench otherwise the bench would be reconstituted.
