Committee formed to decide procedure for SC live telecast

Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa has formed a two-member committee of judges to evaluate and decide the procedure of live broadcasting of judicial proceedings in the Supreme Court.

The committee, comprising Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar and Justice Athar Minallah, has been entrusted with the task of submitting a report on the procedure for the live telecast of court proceedings within a week.

Pending the report by the two-member committee of judges, the full court of judges will convene again to discuss the evaluation.

The development comes after Monday's historic broadcast of the top court's proceedings, which was aired live on state television for the first time ever.
