In a first, Supreme Court proceedings broadcast live; CJP Isa-led full court hears SC practice law
ISLAMABAD: In a first, the Supreme Court has allowed live telecast of its proceedings on a set of petitions challenging the Supreme Court (Practice and Procedure) Act 2023 — the law passed by the previous Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)-led government to regulate suo motu powers of the chief justice of Pakistan.
Newly-appointed CJP Qaez Faez Isa-led full court is currently conducting the hearing on the petitions being broadcast live on state television PTV.
The apex court declared the petitions seeking full court hearing on the petitions admissible. CJP Isa said that the decision to hold a full court hearing was taken in the full court meeting.
During the hearing, CJP Isa said arguments in the case will begin afresh because the new bench has been formed.
There were three applications to make a full court, which had been approved, CJP Isa observed.
Ahead of the hearing today, the Attorney General for Pakistan (AGP) Mansoor Usman Awan submitted the federal government's response in the matter, requesting the court to reject the petitions against the Supreme Court Practice and Procedure Act.
"Petitions against acts of parliament are inadmissible. [Therefore,] the petitions against the Practice and Procedure Act should be dismissed," the response submitted by the government contended.
The decision to broadcast the hearing was made in the full court meeting ahead of the hearing on the petitions, sources confirmed to Geo News, adding that five cameras are being installed in courtroom number one. Four cameras have also been installed in the visitors' gallery and one is installed for the lawyers' rostrum in front of the judges' docks.
