SC verdict today on review of judgments law

ISLAMABAD:

 

The Supreme Court will announce the verdict on Review of Judgments and Orders Act on Friday (today).

A three-member bench of the apex court had reserved the decision on June 19.
The piece of legislation that widens the scope of review jurisdiction in cases decided under Article 184(3) of the Constitution was introduced by the coalition government.
In February, CJP Bandial took suo motu cognizance of a delay in announcement of elections for two provincial assemblies.

Even last year, the coalition government had expressed mistrust about the same bench when it set aside a ruling by former Punjab Assembly deputy speaker Dost Mazari.

The ruling parties had requested these judges to form a full court to hear pleas against the ruling but the bench had turned down the request.
