Shortly after the Senate passed the constitutional amendment, the PMLN-led federal government was able to win a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly to pass it in the early hours of Monday.
At a ceremony today, President Asif Ali Zardari is anticipated to give his approval to the modification.
The parliament will be able to select Pakistan’s chief justice from among the current members of the supreme court thanks to this significant amendment to the constitution. Additionally, it would include a procedure for assembling constitutional benches to consider cases pertaining to the constitution.
The National Assembly was presented with the amending bill by Azam Nazeer Tarar, the Law Minister.
In the early hours of Monday, the change was approved following recommendations from the opposition and Treasury benches.
