The Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP) convened two meetings on Friday to consider nominations for the appointment of Additional Judges to the Islamabad High Court and the High Court of Balochistan. The sessions, held at the Supreme Court of Pakistan in Islamabad, resulted in the nomination of several candidates for judicial positions, with decisions made by both majority and unanimous votes.
In the first meeting, the Commission, by a majority of its total membership, nominated Muhammad Azam Khan, District & Session Judge, and Inaam Ameen Minhas, Advocate Supreme Court, for appointment as Additional Judges of the Islamabad High Court.
In the second meeting, the Commission unanimously nominated Muhammad Asif, Advocate Supreme Court, and Muhammad Ayub Khan, Advocate Supreme Court, and, by a majority of its total membership, nominated Muhammad Najam-ud-Din Mengal, Advocate Supreme Court, for appointment as Additional Judges of the High Court of Balochistan.
In both meetings, the Commission unanimously decided that nominees who did not secure the required majority of the total membership for finalization of their nominations this time may be renominated for future vacancies.
