Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has challenged the 26th Constitutional Amendment in Supreme Court, stating that it is unconstitutional, illegal, and unacceptable. As per details, the PTI’s petition, filed through Advocate Samir Khosa, urged that the amendment be declared null and void. The petition seeks to restrain the Judicial Commission of Pakistan from making judicial appointments until a decision is made on the petition. The PTI stated that the amendment violates the basic structure of the Constitution, which cannot be altered by Parliament. The party also contends that the amendment undermines the independence of the judiciary, which is a fundamental principle of the Constitution.
