Judges of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) have written a letter to the Chief Justices of the Supreme Court and high courts, raising concerns about the appointment of a transferred judge to the IHC's top position. They argue that this appointment violates the seniority criteria established by the Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP).
ISLAMABAD - In a significant development on the judicial front, the judges of Islamabad High Court on Friday penned a letter to the chief justices of the Supreme Court and high courts in which they expressed concerns over the appointment of a transferred judge to the IHC 's top slot.According to the Judicial Commission of Pakistan new rules which came into effect last year, the seniority criterion was not followed to appoint the top-most judge.
“The high courts are independent and autonomous. The justices who are elevated to a particular high court, take oath, under Article 194 of the Constitution, with respect a particular province, or for the purposes of the IHC, with respect to the Islamabad Capital Territory.
“Article 200 did not undergo any changes. The conception of each court being separate and autonomous, under the system of federalism, has remained intact.” It argued that the transferred judge would need to take a fresh oath under Article 194 of the Constitution, for serving in a new high court and thus their seniority would be determined from the date of the oath for the purpose of serving at the IHC.
