Islamabad – Chief Justice of Pakistan Yahya Afridi dismissed the informal requests from the Chief Justice of the Islamabad High Court to convene a commission meeting on the transfer of Islamabad High Court judges. In a written response, Chief Justice Afridi stated that “the request to call a commission meeting for judges’ transfers cannot be accepted; transferring a judge without cause is equivalent to imposing a penalty, therefore convening a Judicial Commission meeting for this specific purpose is not permissible.” According to the letter from Chief Justice Afridi to the Chief Justice of the Islamabad High Court, “vacancies in multiple positions would create judicial uncertainty; no clear reason or institutional need for the High Court judges’ transfers has been presented, and the Constitution provides a specific procedure for removing a judge under Article 209.” The letter further notes that action against a judge is possible only under Article 209, and administrative transfers of judges would contravene the Constitution, potentially affecting judicial independence and autonomy. Treating judges as transferable administrative officers is deemed a dangerous trend that could damage the reputation of the judicial system. The letter also states that the Secretary of the Judicial Commission is authorized to call meetings; on 7 April 2026 a handwritten requisition was received to convene a meeting of one‑third of the members. Under Article 175A, the Secretary may summon such a meeting, and the reasons for calling a meeting on transfers must be sent to all commission members.
