ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Friday suspended the work of a powerful judicial commission set up to investigate the audio leaks related to the judiciary.
It also suspended the federal government’s notification of the commission’s composition.
The order was issued by a five-member SC bench headed by Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, Justice Ijaz ul Ahsan, Justice Munib Akhtar, Justice Syed Hasan Azhar Rizvi and Justice Shahid Waheed.
The court issued the order while hearing separate petitions filed by Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President Abid Shahid Zuberi, SCBA Secretary Muqtedir Akhtar Shabbir, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan and lawyer Riaz Hanif Rahi requesting that the formation of committee be declared illegal.
This is a developing story and will be updated with more details.
