The Supreme Court of Pakistan has been at the center of a dispute regarding the powers of constitutional and regular benches. Justice Mansoor Ali Shah has issued a detailed ruling in the Adil Bazi case, while the court is also dealing with the implications of the 26th constitutional amendment. Reports indicate that a majority within the Supreme Court believes the amendment should be reversed. The court's proceedings have led to tensions, with Justice Shah expressing concerns over the independence of the judiciary, stating that withdrawing cases from the bench undermines judicial independence. Additionally, former Prime Minister Imran Khan is set to appeal his 14-year prison sentence for corruption related to the Al-Qadir Trust case, with his lawyer confirming the appeal will be filed in a high court this week. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has announced plans to file an appeal against the decision in the high court. Meanwhile, the government’s negotiation committee is preparing a response to PTI's demands, with a subcommittee formed to review these requests. The political landscape remains tense as PTI members protested during a National Assembly session, disrupting proceedings upon the arrival of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
