ISLAMABAD: Federal government has introduced the 24th constitutional amendment bill.
The federal government on Friday introduced a constitutional amendment bill in the National Assembly, proposing a right to appeal against an order of the Supreme Court passed in suo motu cases.
The Constitution (24th Amendment) Bill, 2016, suggests adding two new clauses – 184 (4) and 184 (5) – to Article 184 (Original jurisdiction of Supreme Court) of the Constitution.
The clauses propose that anyone aggrieved by an order passed by the Supreme Court under Clause (3) of Article 184 could file an appeal in the Supreme Court and such appeals would be heard by a bench larger than the bench passing the order.
