Pakistan’s Supreme Court Under Strain: A Judge Resigns Amid Constitutional Attacks and Rising Authoritarianism

We speak to Mansoor Ali Shah, who served as the Senior Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court of Pakistan until just last month. Shah is one of two judges who resigned after parliament passed a constitutional amendment that curbed its remit and will no longer allow the Supreme Court to hear constitutional cases. The judges say the reform “stands as a grave assault on the constitution”. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
