A senior lawyer, Raja Irshad, who previously represented intelligence agencies in missing persons cases, has filed a petition with the Supreme Court of Pakistan under Article 184 (3) of the Constitution.

In the petition, he seeks to interpret the oath of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) and determine the COAS’s role in the state’s affairs. Raja Irshad argues that Article 184 (3) allows for the consideration of questions of great public importance related to the enforcement of fundamental rights.

Additionally, he calls for an interpretation of the COAS’s oath and seeks orders to ensure constitutional governance in the country.
