Federal Constitutional Court Nullifies Sindh Government’s Notification on Judges

ISLAMABAD: The Federal Constitutional Court has declared the Sindh government’s notification regarding the dismissal of judges from the Anti-Terrorism Court as null and void, effectively overturning the Sindh High Court’s decision dated December 22, 2025.

This ruling comes as a significant development in the ongoing legal disputes surrounding the judiciary in Sindh. The court emphasized the importance of judicial independence and the rule of law, stating that the government’s actions were unconstitutional and undermined the integrity of the judicial system.

The implications of this ruling are profound, as it reinforces the judiciary’s autonomy and may influence future government actions regarding judicial appointments and dismissals. Legal experts suggest that this decision could set a precedent for similar cases across the country, ensuring that judicial decisions remain free from political interference.

Looking ahead, legal analysts anticipate further discussions and potential appeals regarding this ruling. The Sindh government may need to reassess its approach to judicial appointments, while the Federal Constitutional Court’s decision is likely to prompt a review of existing laws governing the judiciary.
