**Interview with Federal Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar on Recent Developments in the Sindh High Court**
**Interviewer**: Thank you for joining us today, Minister Tarar. Following your recent announcement, can you explain the significance of the Judicial Commission’s decision on the Sindh High Court judges?
**Azam Nazir Tarar**: Thank you for having me. The decision is quite significant as it allows all judges of the Sindh High Court to hear constitutional cases until November 24. This is crucial given the current vacancies in the court, where 12 positions are still unfilled. By enabling all judges to take on these responsibilities, we are ensuring that constitutional matters are addressed promptly and effectively.
**Interviewer**: What prompted this move to allow all judges to participate in constitutional cases?
**Azam Nazir Tarar**: The proposal was put forward by Chief Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui, reflecting the urgent need to tackle a backlog of constitutional cases. It was agreed that having a fully operating bench is essential for maintaining the rule of law and protecting citizens’ rights under our constitution.
**Interviewer**: You mentioned that this permission is temporary. What happens after November 24?
**Azam Nazir Tarar**: That’s correct; this is a temporary arrangement. After November 24, the situation will be reassessed based on the ongoing needs of the court and the status of the vacant positions. We are hopeful that by then, a more permanent solution will be in place.
**Interviewer**: Were there any notable attendees or discussions during the Judicial Commission meeting?
**Azam Nazir Tarar**: Yes, indeed. Justice Jamal Mandukhel attended via video link, which was important for maintaining continuity in our discussions. Unfortunately, Akhtar Hussain from the Pakistan Bar Council couldn’t be present due to personal reasons, but his input is always valued in these discussions.
**Interviewer**: How do you perceive the overall impact of this decision on the judicial system in Sindh?
**Azam Nazir Tarar**: This decision should bolster the judiciary’s capacity to manage constitutional cases efficiently. An active and well-functioning court is vital for upholding justice and ensuring that all citizens have access to fair legal recourse. We are eager to see how this change will positively affect the judicial landscape in Sindh.
**Interviewer**: Thank you for your insights, Minister Tarar. We appreciate you taking the time to discuss this important issue with us.
