LAHORE, April 3: The Lahore High Court observed on Thursday that the superior court judges’ superannuation age extension issue should be left to the discretion of parliament to decide its ultimate fate.

Justice Tassadaq Hussain Jilani, the senior member of the division bench hearing an intra-court appeal against the LFO, observed that the three-year extension was not something related to a single judge.

“Rather, it concerns the entire judiciary and has to be considered in its entirety. Let parliament take up and decide this issue accordingly,” he observed in response to submissions of the Pakistan Lawyers’ Forum.
