The Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP) has approved major decisions regarding the Sindh High Court. The commission confirmed ten additional judges as permanent members of the court. It also granted a temporary extension to two other judges.
The meeting of the JCP was held under the chairmanship of Chief Justice of Pakistan Yahya Afridi. Members discussed the performance and eligibility of judges currently serving in the Sindh High Court. After deliberation, the commission reached a consensus on multiple appointments.
According to official details, 10 SHC judges have now been confirmed as permanent judges. These judges were previously working in an additional capacity. Their confirmation strengthens the judicial structure of the Sindh High Court.
The judges approved for permanent appointment include Justice Miran Muhammad, Justice Tasleem Sultana, and Justice Riazat. Justice Muhammad Hassan Akbar, Justice Abdul Hamid Bhurgri, and Justice Jan Ali Junejo were also confirmed. The list further includes Justice Nasir Ahmed Bhanbhro, Justice Ali Haider Ada, Justice Usman Ali, and Justice Jafar Raza.
These decisions were made after reviewing their judicial performance and service record. The move is expected to improve efficiency and reduce case backlog in the Sindh High Court. Legal experts believe permanent appointments help ensure continuity and stability in court proceedings.
In addition to confirming 10 SHC judges, the JCP approved a six-month extension for two additional judges. Justice Khalid Hussain Shahani and Justice Syed Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Shah received the extension. This decision allows them to continue serving while further evaluations are completed.
The commission also made changes to the Constitutional Bench of the Sindh High Court. Approval was granted for adding three more judges to this bench. Justice Muhammad Hassan, Justice Usman, and Justice Amjad Ali have been included.
The Constitutional Bench plays a key role in handling important constitutional cases. The inclusion of more judges is expected to speed up hearings and improve decision-making.
