Judicial Commission

The Judicial Commission of Pakistan is a commission for the appointment of Supreme Court and High Court Judges in Pakistan. The Chief Justice of Pakistan is the Chairman of JCP.

On 20 April 2010, 18th Constitutional Amendment was passed in the Parliament of Pakistan. In pursuance of the 18th Amendments, a Judicial Commission was proposed to be created to recommend the appointment of Judges of the Superior Courts in Pakistan.

Following is the collective text of the Article 175 (A) which was inserted in the constitution of Pakistan through this amendment. The 18th amendment also provided that the president shall appoint the senior most judge of the Supreme Court to the office of the CJP thus formally recognizing the principle of seniority and legitimate expectancy enunciated by the apex court in the Al-Jihad case and subsequently reiterated in some other cases.
