Qaseem Shah, Dawood Ahmed:Â
The Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP) has approved the elevation of Justice Kamran Mullahkhail as the new Chief Justice of the Balochistan High Court. Alongside him, Justice Zafara Ahmed Rajput has been appointed as the Chief Justice of the Sindh High Court.
The decision came during a meeting held at the Supreme Court conference room, where the JCP reviewed the appointments of chief justices from among the three senior-most judges of each high court.
For the Balochistan High Court, the names considered included Justice Kamran Mullahkhail, Justice Iqbal Ahmed Kasi, and Justice Shaukat Ali Rakhshani. Following careful consideration, Justice Mullahkhail was selected to lead the provincial judiciary.
Similarly, for the Sindh High Court, the commission considered Justice Zafara Ahmed Rajput, Justice Muhammad Iqbal Kalohoro, and Justice Mahmood A. Khan, ultimately approving Justice Rajput’s elevation as chief justice.
The appointments mark a key step in strengthening the leadership of Pakistan’s high courts and ensuring judicial efficiency at the provincial level.
