A 10-member full bench of the Supreme Court hearing a set of petitions challenging the presidential reference against Justice Qazi Faez Isa was dissolved on Monday after one of the judges became non-available.
Justice Umar Ata Bandial, who was heading the bench, said as the judges congregated that the bench had been dissolved due to the non-availability of Justice Mazhar Alam Miankhel.
“The matter of constituting a new bench is being sent to the chief justice,” Justice Bandial said. Justice Isa’s counsel, Munir A. Malik, requested again that a full court bench be formed to hear the case, to which Justice Bandial reminded him that it is up to the chief justice to constitute a bench.
