The Pakistan Bar Council has approved the appointment of senior lawyer Ahsan Bhoon as a member of the Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP) for a two-year term. The decision was made during a meeting held at the Supreme Court in Islamabad, chaired by Pakistan Bar Council Chairman Mansoor Usman Awan. The meeting was attended by central and provincial members of the council. Bhoon was elected with a majority vote, securing 14 votes in favour, while four members opposed his appointment. One member abstained from voting.
Bhoon will represent the Pakistan Bar Council in the commission, which plays a crucial role in judicial appointments across the country.
