Protest and press conference on the elevation of Junior Judge to the Supreme court.
This was organized by the Mubashir Bhutta Human Rights ,The law society of Pakistan and TNAP (Tehreek-e nafaze Aen Pakistan ) In the Protest and press conference they have questioned the elevation of the junior judge to the supreme court as the approval is pending and parliamentary Committee on the Judges Appointment is going to endorsed the recommendation, ignoring criticism by some sections of lawyers’ community who were of the view that being number four on the seniority list, Justice Akhtar did not deserve to be elevated to the SC. This was the reason that the Sindh Bar Council’s (SBC) representatives held a press conference last week in which they said that elevation of Justice Akhtar to the SC after bypassing three senior judges was in violation of the judgement announced in the Al-Jihad Trust case that set a precedent for appointment of judges.
