Pakistan's Islamabad High Court (IHC) is drafting a policy to rotate judges from the capital's district courts to other provinces, following a long-standing demand from Islamabad's legal community. The National Judicial Policy Making Committee has already accepted the proposal in principle, and authorities are now working out details such as how many of the roughly 60 district judges would be rotated, which court tiers would be included, and how long postings would last. The initiative aims to bring Islamabad's lower judiciary in line with inter-provincial transfer practices available elsewhere in Pakistan, though officials must also address concerns that rotating judges could expose them to new forms of professional pressure and compromise judicial independence.
