Justice Mansoor Ali Shah once again raises concerns about appointment of judges

Supreme Court Justice Mansoor Ali Shah has written another letter to the Judicial Commission of Pakistan, expressing his concerns about appointment of judges without any rules and regulations. 

Justice Shah said that he was head of the committee, which used to make rules for judges’ appointments. He said the committee had set some conditions to be met before appointment of judges. He said that clear rules should be made for appointment of judges.

He said the committee had set standards for rules for appointment of judges. He said it was decided by the committee that a judge’s competence, intelligence and the ability to write judgements would be taken into account before his appointment. He said that rules for appointment of judges have not been made so far according to Article 175 A.
