Justice Mansoor Calls for Full Court to Address Constitutional Amendment Cases

Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah of the Supreme Court has strongly advocated for forming a full court bench to hear challenges to the 26th Constitutional Amendment. This amendment has introduced key reforms, including parliamentary participation in the selection of Chief Justices and judicial appointments.

Critics argue that these changes undermine the independence of the judiciary by increasing legislative influence on judicial processes.

Justice Mansoor, along with other judges, has emphasized the significance of these cases, suggesting that a full court is necessary to ensure a comprehensive and impartial review.

This proposal comes amid ongoing debates over the separation of powers and the broader implications of constitutional reforms for Pakistan’s democratic institutions
