Islamabad:
The Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court requested an explanation of the officials of the fixers management to plan the case of constitutional interpretation in a regular bench led by judge Mansoor Ali Shah.
According to sources, the registrar’s office required clarification on how a case intended for a constitutional bench (CB) was assigned to a regular bench. Officials were invited to submit their response within seven days.
The question occurred after the bench of judge Shah decided to hear a case concerning article 191a of the law on customs duties.
One day earlier, a CB of seven members led by Judge Amicin Khan heard the affairs that were earlier placed before a regular bench led by Judge Shah.
However, on January 17, the Committee of the Supreme Court which listed business before the benches did not withdraw the affairs of the regular bench and referred them to the CB committee for re -election.
This thwarted the regular bench which initiated an outrage procedure against an additional registrar, Nazar Abbas, for having raped its order. Later, on January 27, the bench exempted the official from the accusations of outrage but noted that the SC committees had committed an outrage in the court.
