Overview

• An eight-member Constitutional Bench led by Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan unanimously allowed the proceedings to be broadcast live.
• The court formally registered Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar’s petition seeking a full-court hearing on the challenges.
• Judges indicated they will address the full-court request before moving to arguments on the amendment’s validity.
• Dozens of petitions from bar associations, PTI, and former judges contest the amendment’s procedure and its effect on judicial independence, including changes to suo motu powers and CJP selection.
• Some judges cautioned that live-streamed hearings have been misused previously, yet the sessions will stream on the Supreme Court’s YouTube channel starting today.
