The federal cabinet on Tuesday decided to float a bill in the parliament to debate the legislation on judicial reforms amid the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial’s suo motu notice on holding elections in Punjab Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

The debate heated up when two members of the apex court’s five-member bench hearing the case, Justice Mansoor Ali Shah and Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail, expressed reservations on the CJP’s “one man power” jurisdiction to take suo motu notices.

Sources said that the government, at a meeting of the federal cabinet, decided to use the assembly floor to legislate on the right to appeal against the suo motu notice which would limit the CJP’s jurisdiction to take suo motu notices. Other than that, the government would also review the proposals to authorise a full court to take suo motu notice, and the apex court’s procedure to constitute a bench, sources added.

The proposal, after approval from the cabinet, would be presented before the parliament to initiate a debate. The government is expected to take up the proposal at a joint-parliamentary session that had earlier been adjourned by the National Assembly (NA) Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf until April 10.
