Pakistan's upper house on Thursday approved a set of legislation that limits some key powers of the Supreme Court’s chief justice. The Supreme Court Practice and Procedure Bill 2023 was passed with 60 votes in favor, while the bill was opposed by 19 senators from the main opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party and the religiopolitical Jamaat-e-Islami, who called it "unconstitutional."
