The nation’s judiciary, which is still a crucial component of Pakistan’s constitutional trichotomy of powers, has encountered a number of new difficulties and unrest, such as a purported plot to appoint pro-Pakistan Tehreek-Insaf (PTI) judges to the Supreme Court.
The government’s attempt to support the argument that the current makeup of the SC is the result of a conspiracy by former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief general (retd) Faiz Hamid and former chief justices Saqib Nisar, Asif Saeed Khosa, Gulzar Ahmed, and Umar Ata Bandial that calls for a “purge” was a “complete fabrication,” according to legal expert Reema Omer, who categorically refuted this assumption.
In a series of blogs on X, Omer elaborates on the rationale behind her evaluation and provides a thorough explanation of the current SC judges, their nominations, and apparent inclinations.
