The Islamabad District Judicial Service Tribunal (IDJST) has declared the Ministry of Law’s notification from March 18, which called for its reconstitution, as illegal.
The ruling was issued by the tribunal, which included Justices Tariq Mahmood Jahangiri, Babar Sattar, and Sardar Ijaz Ishaq Khan. According to the tribunal, the judges were nominated by the Chief Justice on January 9, 2024, and there is no reason for the tribunal to be restructured as the roles of the chairman and members are clear and unchanged.
The tribunal also ordered the Registrar to send a copy of the ruling to the Acting Chief Justice. Additionally, the Registrar is instructed to provide the same copy to the newly nominated judges for the tribunal.
