The SC Registrar’s Office issued a circular regarding the hearing of cases under Article 184/3.

On Wednesday, a three-member bench of the Supreme Court ordered to adjourn the hearing of cases of constitutional importance and suo motu notices.

The circular released by the SC further termed the judgment against the orders passed by a five-member bench of the top court. Only the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) can take suo moto notice.

The SC while rejecting the decision of a three-member bench in a case of giving extra marks to Hafiz-e-Quran, turned down Qazi Faez Isa’s observation in the case.

The Registrar’s Office was directed to pass the directions to the respondents.
