5 IHC Judges Challenge Transfer of Their Appeals To FCC
Judges’ Transfer Case: 5 IHC Judges File Plea Challenging Fixing Of Intra-Court Appeal Before FCC
Five judges of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) have filed a plea challenging the decision to fix their intra-court appeal before the newly formed Federal Constitutional Court (FCC). The judges argued that the matter falls outside the FCC’s jurisdiction and should be heard within the IHC’s existing appellate framework. Officials noted that the petition raises important questions about judicial authority and the scope of the 27th Constitutional Amendment, under which the FCC was established. The development adds a new layer to the ongoing debate over judicial transfers, autonomy, and procedural transparency.
