The Constitution Of Islamic Republic Of Pakistan QUESTION #9359
Question 1
Under Article 209, the Supreme Judicial Council's function regarding judges includes which of the following that is NOT within its powers?
  • Inquiring into incapacity of a judge
  • Presenting a report to the President for removal of a judge
  • Directly removing a judge from office✔️
  • Giving a judge an opportunity to show cause before presentation of adverse findings
Correct Answer Explanation
Article 209 establishes the Supreme Judicial Council to inquire into incapacity or misconduct of judges. However, the Council does not itself remove judges — it reports to the President, who then acts on the report. Direct removal power lies with the President on the Council's recommendation, not with the Council itself.
