On October 26, Zai Afridi, the newly appointed Chief Justice of Pakistan's Supreme Court, announced significant political changes. His first major ruling was the annulment of a previous order against High Court judge Qazi Faez Isa, which raised concerns for the government, especially since Isa faced serious allegations. Furthermore, it was clarified that the Supreme Court's Practice and Procedure committee would be reconstituted, replacing Judge Amiruddin Khan with Judge Munib Bakhtiar, a move that aims to bolster the credibility of the judiciary and indicate a greater focus on judicial affairs. This situation comes at a time when the government is encountering multiple challenges, particularly given that the influence of Qazi Faez Isa has diminished. Additionally, Chief Justice Afridi has convened a full court meeting to discuss significant legal issues. These developments have complicated matters for the government, leading to an increased expectation for reforms within the judicial system.
