The judge of the Superior Court of Islamabad (IHC), Mohsin Akhtar Kayani, has noticed that all state institutions, including the Executive, the Parliament and the Judiciary, have collapsed.
“The Judiciary is one of the pillars of the State. This pillar now exists in a limbo,” said the main judge of the IHC.
The coalition government led the PML-N in October of last year swept the 26th constitutional amendment through Parliament, an amendment that introduced a radical change in the Judiciary.
The amendment changed the procedure for the appointment of the president of the president of Pakistan while changing the composition of the Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP), giving the Executive more power in the selection and elevation of the judges to the Superior Courts.
The amendment also resulted in the formation of constitutional banks in the higher courts along with an increase in the number of judges in the Superior Court. Critics saw many of these measures as attempts to control and administer the judiciary facing the judges with each other.
