The National Assembly on Tuesday deferred bill seeking to increase the number of judges in the Supreme Court. PML-N’s Daniyal Chaudhry presented the bill proposing an increase in the number of Supreme Court judges from 17 to 23. However, Barrister Gohar noted that under Articles 74 and 81 of the Constitution, only the government can introduce such a bill, as it cannot be a private member’s bill. Subsequently, NA Speaker Ayaz Sadiq halted Chaudhry’s attempt to present the bill and deferred the motion.
