ISLAMABAD, SEP 23 (DNA) : The Supreme Court’s Practice and Procedure Committee is expected to hold its first meeting today (Monday) following the recent amendment ordinance.

Justice Amin-ud-Din would attend the meeting as a member for the first time.

Prior to the amendment, Justice Muneeb Akhtar was part of the committee, which now comprises Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faiz Isa, Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, and Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan.

The committee was reconstituted follows the promulgation of an ordinance amending the Supreme Court Practice and Procedure Act 2023.

It may be recalled that committee was formed after the parliament approved the Supreme Court (Practice and Procedure) Bill 2023 on April 10 last year.

The committee comprises the most senior judges, led by the Chief Justice of Pakistan to “handle and conclude all cases, appeals, or issues presented before the Supreme Court.”
