The Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP) invited nominations for the appointment of 38 additional judges to the five high courts across the country.
According to the notification, the commission has sought nominations for 12 additional judges for the Sindh High Court, four for the Islamabad High Court, 10 for the Lahore High Court, nine for the Peshawar High Court, and three for the Balochistan High Court.
The move comes as the JCP finalised new rules for appointing judges to the superior judiciary, which include input from parliament members and judges.
The Judicial Commission of Pakistan is responsible for appointing judges to the Supreme Court and high courts, ensuring that the appointments are made based on merit and in accordance with the Constitution.
