Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP) on Thursday recommended the names of three lawyers for their appointment as additional judges of Islamabad High Court (IHC), the sources said.
The names proposed by the JCP also include the name of a woman lawyer. The commission meeting was held under the chairmanship of Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khan Khosa and attended by four senior judges of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice of IHC Athar Minallah and Federal Law Minister Farogh Naseem here at the Supreme Court building on Thursday.
The meeting considered the name of Advocate Ghulam Azam Qambar from Balochistan, Fiaz Ahmed Jandran from the federal capital, and Lubna Pervaiz from Sindh for additional judge of Islamabad High Court. It will be the first time that IHC would have a woman judge if her name is finalized or approved.
The recommendations have now been sent to Parliamentary Committee on Judges' Appointment for approval.
