In a groundbreaking development, the judicial commission assigned to investigate a series of leaked audio clips implicating members of the judiciary and their family members has announced its decision to make the proceedings public. Led by Supreme Court senior puisne judge Qazi Faez Isa, the three-member commission has begun its investigation, with a scheduled meeting on Saturday to discuss the matter further.
Media reports have indicated that the commission retains the option to review applications for closed-door proceedings, particularly when handling sensitive matters. Justice Faez Isa highlighted that if the commission receives any such requests, it may even consider visiting Lahore, as two of the individuals mentioned in the audio clips are elderly women.
