The appointment of judges to constitutional benches in Pakistan has been a contentious issue, with various stakeholders demanding clear criteria for nomination and determination. Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah has called for the establishment of such criteria, emphasizing the need for a mechanism to ensure fair and transparent selection processes. The Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP) is set to consider extending the Supreme Court's constitutional bench, but proposed rules must provide a clear framework for nomination and determination of judges. Meanwhile, the 26th Constitutional Amendment has been challenged in petitions before the Supreme Court, further complicating the issue. The Pakistan Bar Council (PBC) has urged the JCP to defer its meeting until the petitions are decided, highlighting the need for caution and careful consideration in this matter.
