The Judicial Commission of Pakistan recommended Justice Hashim Khan Kakar for the position of Chief Justice of the Balochistan High Court (BHC) on Monday.
The decision came during a meeting chaired by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, where various appointments of judges were reviewed.
Kakar took oath earlier this month as the acting chief justice of the Balochistan High Court.
He was appointed Acting Chief Justice of BHC after Chief Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan was elevated to the Supreme Court as a judge.
In addition, the commission suggested making six additional judges of the Sindh High Court (SHC) permanent, with the matter now forwarded to the Parliamentary Committee for final approval.
Currently serving as the Acting Chief Justice of the Balochistan High Court, Justice Hashim Khan Kakar's nomination holds significance.
Alongside his recommendation, the commission proposed the permanence of six additional judges of the Sindh High Court: Justice Amjad Ali Bohio, Justice Muhammad Abdul Rehman, Justice Khadim Hussain Soomro, Justice Sana Akram Minhas, Justice Arbab Ali Hakro, and Justice Jawad Akbar Sarwana.
