After being delivered to the prime minister and cabinet on Thursday night by the Ministry of Law, the ordinance was adopted by the federal cabinet “through a circulation”.
According to the ordinance, the judges would consider the cases from the perspectives of public importance and fundamental human rights.
According to the ordinance, each matter will be heard in turn; if not, a justification will be provided.
