Supreme Court’s five-member larger bench to hear petitions against the three-member commission investigating the leaked audios today.
Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial had formed a five-member larger bench to hear the petitions against the commission investigating the leaked audios.
Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial will preside over the bench, while the other members include Justice Munib Akhtar, Justice Ajaz-ul-Ahsan, Justice Shahid Wahid, and Justice Hasan Azhar Rizvi.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan, Supreme Court Bar President Abid Zubairi, Riaz Hanif Rahi, and Muqtadir Shabeer have filed petitions against the Judicial Commission.
Imran Khan has requested through Advocate Babar Awan in the constitutional petition that the formation of the Judicial Commission be declared null and void.
Supreme Court Bar President Abid Zubairi has also challenged the notice from the Audios Commission in his petition, forming a team consisting of the Federation, Audios Commission, PEMRA, and the PTI. He argues that it is a violation of the notification rules.
Abid Zubairi has taken a stance in his petition that the surveillance or tapping of any citizen’s phone is not allowed, and the notification of the Audios Commission is a violation of Articles 9, 14, 18, 19, and 25. He requests the commission’s formation, orders, and actions to be declared unconstitutional.
