ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan has formed a new 11-member bench to hear the reserved seats case.
According to reports, Justice Ayesha Malik and Justice Aqeel Abbasi have not been included in the newly formed bench. Both judges had earlier dismissed the review petitions in the same case, which is believed to be the reason behind their exclusion.
Justice Aminuddin Khan has been appointed as the head of the newly formed larger bench.
Previously, a three-member bench of the Supreme Court comprising Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, and Justice Shahid Bilal had issued a ruling on the scope of review.
The decision stated that a review could only be sought under Article 188 of the Constitution and the relevant court rules, and must highlight an obvious error in the original judgment.
