The 26th Constitutional Amendment Bill, aimed at reforming the judiciary, has passed the Senate with a two-thirds majority. Key changes include limiting the Supreme Court’s suo motu powers, setting the Chief Justice of Pakistan’s term to three years, and allowing the Prime Minister to appoint the next Chief Justice from the three most senior judges. The bill, which has been shaped by a special parliamentary committee and has undergone significant revisions, is now expected to pass in the National Assembly.
