Islamabad: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar has said the Supreme Court (Practice and Procedure) Amendment Ordinance 2024 has been promulgated by the President to serve the public interest and enhance the transparency of the judicial process.
In his televised remarks today, he said the ordinance was earlier approved by the cabinet.
Sharing details of the ordinance, the Information Minister said that the first case to land in the court will be heard first.
He stated that the right of appeal has also been granted for any judgment to be passed by the apex court in a case under Article 184(3).
The Information Minister stated that a transcript of the proceedings for each case will also be prepared and it will be available to the public. This, he said, will bring more transparency in the judicial process.
Attaullah Tarar said a Chinese Group Ruyi has signed an agreement with Pakistan for the establishment of textile parks in Sindh and Punjab provinces. He said the Group’s Chairman also held a meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif today.
The Information Minister said the Chinese group will invite more than one hundred Chinese companies to establish their textile units in these parks. He said this is an investment of seven billion dollars.
Describing this MOU as a big success, he said this will help bolster Pakistan’s exports and provide employment opportunities for three hundred to five hundred thousand people. He was confident that this will make Pakistan a textile hub.
