Multiple lawyers' bodies Wednesday moved the Supreme Court (SC) seeking the constitution of a full court to hear the alleged interference in judicial matters by intelligence agencies.

Multiple pleas, filed by the Balochistan Bar Council and Balochistan High Court Bar, seek the apex court's guidelines to prevent such incidents in the future.

Calling for the annulment of the one-man commission formed by the government to probe the allegations, the petitions pray to the court to ensure that those who interfere in judicial matters are strictly punished.

The development comes as a seven-member SC bench is set to resume the hearing in the suo motu case on the Islamabad High Court (IHC) judges' letter to the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) complaining of interference in judicial affairs by intelligence agencies on April 29.

It is to be noted that on March 25, IHC judges including Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani, Justice Babar Sattar, Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir, Justice Tariq Mahmood Jehangiri, Justice Sardar Ejaz Ishaq Khan and Justice Saman Rifat Imtiaz, demanded CJP Isa to convene the Judicial Convention to consider the matter of interference of intelligence operatives in the judicial functions or intimidation of judges in a manner that undermined the independence of the judiciary.

The bench is headed by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa and comprises six other judges — Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, Justice Yahya Afridi, Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhel, Justice Athar Minallah, Justice Musarrat Hilali and Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan.
