Important points related to the proposed amendments came out, the amendment of increasing the tenure of the current Chief Justice was not included

Key points regarding the proposed amendments have emerged, and there is no inclusion of an amendment to extend the tenure of the Chief Justice.

Some important details about the proposed amendments from the government have surfaced, including the establishment of a procedure for the removal of judges, while an extension of the tenure for the Chief Justice of Pakistan is not part of the amendments.

Sources claim that the proposed amendments include the establishment of a constitutional court, along with setting procedures for the removal of judges. Additionally, the point regarding the appointment of judges, which was repealed in the 19th amendment, will be reinstated. An amendment to Article 63 is also included, although a decision regarding Balochistan Assembly seats is yet to be made.

According to sources, the proposed constitutional amendment does not include an extension of the Chief Justice's tenure. Instead, the procedure for selecting the next Chief Justice will be changed, and one of the five most senior judges will be appointed as the Chief Justice.

Sources also mentioned that an amendment regarding the transfer of High Court judges is part of the draft. There is also a suggestion to amend Article 184(3) related to suo motu powers and to restructure the body responsible for appointing judges.

Furthermore, there is a proposal to combine the Judicial Commission and the Parliamentary Committee into a single committee. An amendment to Article 181 regarding the appointment of ad-hoc judges is included, along with a proposal to establish a separate constitutional court to hear constitutional cases.

Reports indicate that cases related to Articles 184, 185, and 186 will be heard in the constitutional court, and appeals against the court's decisions will also be heard there.

On another note, the meetings of the federal cabinet, National Assembly, and Senate are facing delays. The National Assembly session, initially scheduled for 4 PM today, is now expected to begin at 8 PM after a four-hour delay, during which the constitutional amendment may be presented for approval.

Meanwhile, the federal cabinet meeting, chaired by the Prime Minister and scheduled for 3 PM, has not yet started. However, sources say it is expected to begin soon.

The cabinet meeting was initially called for 11 AM, but was postponed until 3 PM, and as of 5 PM, it had still not commenced.

Earlier, the Senate meeting also faced delays, with the session scheduled for 4 PM postponed until 7 PM. However, due to the delay in the National Assembly meeting, the Senate session is likely to be further delayed.

It is worth noting that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had called for a special cabinet meeting today, with sources stating that the cabinet would approve the constitutional amendment package during the meeting.

In addition, sessions of both houses of Parliament have been called today, which is unusual for the weekend, as such sessions are typically convened for budget discussions or other sensitive issues.

Although the official agenda released for the National Assembly session did not include mention of the amendment, such matters are usually presented as part of a supplementary agenda.

The agenda released on Friday for today's special session included a calling attention notice from the MQM regarding capacity payment to IPPs (Independent Power Producers), as well as another notice concerning the proposed privatization of Pakistan Mineral Development Corporation.

The ruling coalition, including the PML-N, PPP, and MQM, has instructed its members to remain in the capital to ensure their presence in both houses for the legislation.

PPP sources revealed that MNA Nafisa Shah wanted to travel to her hometown yesterday to celebrate the birthday of her father, former Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah, but she was not permitted to leave the federal capital.

It is also noteworthy that a proposal to raise the retirement age of Supreme Court judges to 68 has been put forward, and constitutional amendments regarding this are expected to be presented in the National Assembly.

Three days ago, Speaker of the National Assembly Ayaz Sadiq formed an 18-member special committee, comprising 12 government members and 6 opposition members, for a Charter of Parliament. The formation of the parliamentary committee was agreed upon based on a proposal from PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto.
