Five IHC Judges Challenge SC Ruling on Judicial Transfers, Seniority

  • On June 29, 2025, five Islamabad High Court judges filed an intra-court appeal challenging the Supreme Court's June 19 ruling on judicial transfers and seniority.
  • The Supreme Court upheld the relocation of three judges from the high courts of Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan to the Islamabad High Court and directed the President of Pakistan to determine their seniority.
  • The appellants urged the Supreme Court to overturn the transfer ruling, halt its execution, and prevent the reassigned members of the judiciary, among them Justice Sarfraz Dogar, from carrying out any judicial or administrative responsibilities.
  • The Supreme Court’s 3-2 majority ruling affirmed the President’s constitutional authority under Article 200 to transfer judges and mandated the President to promptly examine whether transfers were temporary or permanent.
  • The appeal raises continuing legal uncertainty over the transfers' permanence and seniority order, indicating further judicial review and administrative action are pending.
