Overview

• The judges lodged individual petitions under Article 184(3) and completed filing formalities at the Supreme Court.
• The petitions seek to nullify IHC notifications issued on February 3 and July 15 concerning administrative committees, as well as recently framed court rules.
• The filings argue the Chief Justice cannot unilaterally reconstitute benches, remove judges from rosters, or prevent them from performing judicial work.
• Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani named the IHC Chief Justice and the State of Pakistan as respondents in his petition.
• Separately, Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri asked the Supreme Court to suspend the order barring him over degree allegations, while a related quo warranto case on his credentials proceeds in the IHC with amici appointed and the attorney general’s view sought.
