Pakistan’s National Assembly Approves Bill to Expand Supreme Court and IHC Judge Seats


 The National Assembly of Pakistan recently passed a bill to increase the number of judges in both the Supreme Court and the Islamabad High Court (IHC), addressing the growing demands on the judiciary. The bill, introduced by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) lawmaker Daniyal Chaudhry, raises the number of Supreme Court justices from 17 to 23, with the aim of expediting case resolutions in the country’s highest court. Similarly, the IHC will see an increase in judges to better manage its case load, reflecting efforts to strengthen judicial efficiency.


The decision to expand the Supreme Court’s bench has been a long-discussed issue, as it is expected to help with the significant backlog of cases pending resolution. However, the bill’s passage faced some political challenges, including objections raised by opposition leaders, who questioned the necessity and timing of the amendment. Despite these concerns, the bill has moved forward to the standing committee for further deliberation   .
