ISLAMABAD: A meeting of the parliamentary committee on Friday decided to conduct interviews of nominated judges of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) before appointing them.
The Judicial commission as in the past used to nominate the candidates would continue to do so in the future and would send its nominations to the parliamentary committee. However, the committee now could summon the candidates nominated by the judicial commission for the post of a judge with the superior judiciary. Previously, the committee did not have the mandate to do interview of any person nominated for the post of the judge with high courts.
