The five-member larger bench comprised of Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa, Justice Munib Akhtar, Aminuddin Khan, Jamal Khan Mandokhail, and Mazhar Alam Khan Miankhel was set to hear the case, but Justice Munib Akhtar recused himself from the bench.
Justice Munib wrote a letter to the Registrar of the Supreme Court, citing his reasons for not being part of the bench. The letter also mentioned his reservations about the reconstitution of the Practicing and Procedure Committee.
A four-member bench, excluding Justice Munib, headed by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, heard the case instead.
