A petition was moved on Thursday in the Supreme Court, challenging the transfer of three judges from the Islamabad High Court.

The petition has been moved by the Lahore High Court Bar Association through Hamid Khan advocate.

The petition claimed that the transfers of the IHC judges were in violation of Article 2A of the Constitution.

The petition claimed that these judicial transfers lacked transparency, and the reasons behind the transfers have not been disclosed.

The petition argues that the transfer of these judges to other high courts was also unconstitutional.

The petition further asserts that the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court should not be given to the Federal Constitutional Court, which was established after the 27th Constitutional Amendment.

As a result, the petition argues that this court cannot hear cases related to such matters.

The federal government and the Judicial Commission of Pakistan have been made parties to the case, which has been filed under Article 183(3) of the Constitution.
