“Government Approves Raise in Salaries and Perks for Supreme Court Judges”

“The federal government has approved a significant increase in the salaries and perks of judges of the Supreme Court. This decision aims to enhance the financial benefits and ensure better compensation for the country’s top judges, recognizing their important role in upholding justice. The revised package includes both salary hikes and additional allowances, designed to improve the overall financial standing of Supreme Court judges.

The move has generated varying reactions across the political spectrum. Proponents argue that the increase is necessary to maintain the independence of the judiciary and to attract highly qualified legal professionals to the apex court. Supporters also believe that the revised financial package will help judges focus on their duties without concerns over financial constraints.

On the other hand, critics have questioned the timing of this raise, considering the economic challenges the country faces. They argue that public funds should be allocated more prudently, especially when the average citizen is struggling with inflation and rising living costs. The decision is also expected to fuel ongoing debates on the balance between judicial independence and the public perception of judicial compensation.

While the exact figures of the increase have not been fully disclosed, sources suggest that the raise could amount to a substantial sum, setting a precedent for the remuneration of judicial officers in Pakistan. The move is seen as part of broader judicial reforms aimed at improving the judicial system, though it has sparked a national conversation on the priorities of the government in these challenging economic times.”

Court Issues Arrest Warrants for Bushra Bibi in Toshakhana Case

In a significant development, a court has issued arrest warrants for Bushra Bibi, the wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, in connection with the ongoing Toshakhana case. The court took this step after Bushra Bibi repeatedly failed to appear for scheduled hearings, despite multiple summonses.

The Toshakhana case involves allegations that the former first lady unlawfully retained valuable gifts from foreign dignitaries without declaring them, a violation of government protocols. The court had earlier instructed Bushra Bibi to present herself for questioning, but her continued absence led to the issuance of arrest warrants.

Legal experts suggest that this action could further escalate the legal challenges facing the former ruling family. The arrest warrants have been issued in the context of mounting pressure on Imran Khan’s party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), as multiple members face legal scrutiny over corruption and other charges. The case remains a focal point in the political landscape, with critics accusing the government of political vendettas.
