**SC exceeding limits of suo motu rules: ICJ
ISLAMABAD: The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) has said that the Supreme Court of Pakistan should exercise restraint in taking up suo motu proceedings because overuse of the provision could endanger the rule of law. **
The visiting ICJ mission recommended to the apex court to adopt rules setting out the criteria for the use of suo motu procedures and for the allocation of cases to benches.
The ICJ mission chief said at a press conference here on Friday, after a six-day visit to the country, that it appeared the Supreme Court was exceeding the limits of a reasonable use of suo motu procedure.
Stefan Trechsel said the legal profession and members of the bar appeared divided over the use of the suo motu proceedings by the Supreme Court.
“On one hand, some supported the current liberal practice, but on the other, a number of lawyers and former judges felt that the Supreme Court has gone too far and that the practice endangered the rule of law,” he said.
Graham Leung, another judge, accompanied Mr Trechsel. He said that when the apex court took up the cases itself the parties involved might be deprived of their right to appeal.
