During the meeting, a few judges suggested issuing a statement acknowledging that the 27th Constitutional Amendment was passed by Parliament and is binding, warning that challenging it could go against the Federal Constitutional Court established under this amendment.<\/p>\n

No consensus was reached on this proposal, as some judges believed that issuing such a statement would amount to ratifying the amendment, and thus no statement was issued.<\/p>\n

A proposal for collective resignations was also discussed but failed to gain consensus. Sources indicate that Chief Justice Yahya Afridi did not read Justice Salahuddin Panhor’s letter regarding the full court and returned it.<\/p>\n

The Chief Justice also denied rumors that he had communicated with the government to retain the post of Chief Justice for himself. However, sources say that during the approval of the amendment, Justice Yahya Afridi had considered resigning upon learning that the words “Chief Justice of Pakistan” were being removed, but the government eventually retained his position in the amendment.<\/p>\n
