26th Amendment Case: Constitutionality of Full Court Formation Possible Under Judicial Powers, Told Supreme Court

In the 26th Amendment case that is ongoing, former law minister Munir A. Malik argued in the Supreme Court that the chief justice can direct the constitution of a full court under Article 191A of the Constitution. Malik argued that “everyone is bound to obey a judicial order,” underscoring the independence of the judiciary in the administration of its internal affairs. The controversy is around constitutional interpretation and the boundaries of judicial discretion. Legal analysts indicate that the ruling may determine future court processes and balance of power within the judiciary.
