ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has included Justice Sardar Mohammad Sarfraz Dogar in its list of nominees for vacant Supreme Court positions.
Initially, the IHC had forwarded the names of three judges — Chief Justice Aamer Farooq, Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani, and Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb — to the Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP) for consideration. However, the administration has now revised the list to include Justice Dogar as well.
The JCP is set to meet today (Monday) to finalise appointments for eight vacant Supreme Court positions. Earlier this month, the commission sought nominations from all high courts, requesting a list of five senior judges from each.
The IHC initially nominated only three judges because the other two senior judges, Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri and Justice Babar Sattar, did not meet the minimum requirement of five years of service.
