Lahore, Pakistan :- PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif said that the appointments of judges in superior judiciary should be made in a transparent manner. He stressed that these appointments should be made by the independent judicial commission after the approval of the parliament.

He was talking to a 13-member delegation of Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) at Raiwind.

The delegation discussed situation of the country, judicial package and appointment of judges. The delegation said that appointment of judges should not be made on political basis. Nawaz Sharif said that the appointments should not be made by an individual.

The Supreme Court has sought record from Election Commission regarding a case challenging Shahbaz Sharif’s eligibility today.
During the case proceedings, the Attorney General argued that Shahbaz was a candidate for constituency PP-10 and as such he should not have taken oath both for Bhakkar seat and as a chief minister of the province. A three-judge bench headed by Justice Javed Iqbal heard the petition filed by Shahid Orakzai. The AG argued in the court that when Shahbaz became a candidate for Rawapindi seat, he was neither a member of Punjab Assembly nor a chief minister at that time, and added that after winning the seat PP-10 from Rawalpindi, Shahbaz is not entitled to keep the Bhakkar seat.
The petitioner submitted in the petition that as a member of assembly, a person has to quit one seat in case he won two. He noted that as Shahbaz has quit the Rawapindi seat thereby constitutionally he became ineligible for the Bhakkar seat as well.
Therefore, he could not be a chief minister, as he is not a member of Punjab Assembly. After hearing the argument, the court asked Shahbaz’s counsel Khawaja Haris to submit reply in this regard.
Justice Javed Iqbal remarked that a comprehensive verdict would be given after complete hearing of the case and added that the SC gives verdict as per the law and constitution. The case was deferred till March 18.
