THE Special Parliamentary Committee constituted to decide on the appointment of Pakistan's next chief justice on Tuesday agreed on the name of Justice Yayha Afridi as the new top judge.
-
The committee met to nominate the next chief justice from among the three most senior Supreme Court judges after the recently adopted 26th Constitutional Amendment brought numerous changes pertaining to the judiciary, including the appointment of chief justice by a Special Parliamentary Committee (SPC) against the previous rule of the senior-most judge becoming the chief justice under the seniority principle.
The first round of in-camera meeting of the parliamentary panel comprising government and opposition members was held in the afternoon in the Parliament House.
