ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial has constituted a five-member larger bench to hear petition of the PTI chairman against the inquiry commission probing audio leaks involving judges.
The larger bench headed by CJP Bandial and comprising Justice Ijazul Ahsan, Justice Munib Akhtar, Justice Syed Hassan Azhar Rizvi and Justice Shahid Waheed will hear the case today (Friday) at 11am.
Last week, the federal government formed the judicial commission headed by senior SC Judge Justice Qazi Faez Isa of the Supreme Court to probe the audio leaks related to the judiciary.
The commission has been tasked to complete the inquiry within 30 days.
Among the multiple audio leaks, the commission will also probe into the veracity of the alleged call between former Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi and a sitting top court judge as well as another call between CM Elahi and a Supreme Court lawyer over the constitution of an apex court bench.
