Pakistan May Have Two Chief Justices with New Constitutional Court Setup 2024

In a bold legal development, it was revealed on October 9, 2024, that Pakistan could have two chief justices once the proposed constitutional court is established. The idea of creating a separate constitutional court has gained momentum in legal circles, with proponents arguing that it would help resolve constitutional matters more efficiently.

The establishment of a constitutional court would allow the judiciary to have a dedicated platform for handling cases related to the interpretation of the constitution. This court would operate alongside the Supreme Court, with its own chief justice overseeing constitutional matters. The proposal has sparked a debate within the legal community, with some expressing concern over the potential overlap in judicial authority.

If implemented, this could mark a significant shift in Pakistan’s judicial system, reshaping the country’s legal landscape. The move is part of broader efforts to reform the judiciary and ensure a faster resolution of constitutional disputes.
