ISLAMABAD:
The post of a judge is lying vacant in the Supreme Court since the retirement of Justice Faisal Arab in November last year. However, it will be a daunting task for Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmed to fill that position due to a number of reasons.
The Balochistan Bar Council (BBC) – during a lawyers convention held in Quetta on Saturday – demanded that a Balochistan High Court (BHC) judge be elevated to the SC “as not a single” ethic Baloch judge – residing in Balochistan – has ever been elevated to the Supreme Court.
