ISLAMABAD: The Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) has declared the Sindh government’s notification regarding the dismissal of Anti-Terrorism Court judges null and void, effectively overturning the Sindh High Court’s decision from December 22, 2025.

The court’s ruling emphasizes the importance of judicial independence and the rule of law in Pakistan.

Legal experts suggest that this decision reinforces the judiciary’s role in maintaining checks and balances within the government.

Citizens and legal practitioners alike are keenly observing how this decision will affect ongoing cases and the overall integrity of the judicial system.

Looking ahead, legal analysts anticipate further discussions on judicial reforms and the relationship between the executive and judiciary.

The Sindh government may respond to the ruling, and additional legal challenges could arise as stakeholders navigate the implications of this landmark decision.
