Tough contest ahead as Judicial Commission of Pakistan set to fill IHC slots

The Judicial Commission of Pakistan is set to select three judges for the Islamabad High Court on July 20, a process that has become politically sensitive due to opposition protests and demands from Islamabad lawyers to prioritize local legal professionals. The IHC administration submitted three nominees, but bar associations argue the candidates lack local lawyer support, prompting calls for appointments from the federal capital’s legal community.
