Senate panel agrees to increase number of SC judges

July 24, 2024 by Abid Khan

Senate Standing Committee on Law and Justice met under the chairmanship of Senator Farooq H. Naik in which it was decided to increase the number of judges of the Supreme Court.

Senator Hamid Khan of PTI opposed the bill and said that nothing will be done by increasing the number of judges.

Senator Fauzia Arshad of PTI said that a few days ago there was a proposal to appoint 4 ad hoc judges which is a proof of this need.

Chairman Standing Committee Farooq H. Naik said that this committee will decide the number of judges of the Supreme Court. The load of cases in the Supreme Court has increased but the judges are the same 17. It is possible to increase the number of judges through simple legislation and no constitutional amendment is required.

Senator Anusha Rehman said that the work of the Supreme Court is not to rewrite the constitution, the Supreme Court should stay within its powers, the judiciary gives more priority to those cases that make news, there is nothing to increase the number of judges.

On this, Prime Minister Nazir Tarar said that the Supreme Court should be a constitutional court and the appellate forum should be limited to the level of the High Court. It should be given that these five judges will hear the cases of Article 184-3 after one o’clock, but the final decision has to be taken by the committee.

While seeking cases and other details to increase the number of judges, the Standing Committee postponed the bill to increase the number of judges of the Supreme Court till the next session.
