Consensus Commission Discussion: Political Parties Agree on Limiting Presidential Pardon and Establishing High Court Benches in Divisional Cities

In the latest round of discussions by the National Consensus Commission, political parties have reached agreement on two key issues. One involves setting limits on the President’s authority to grant general amnesty, and the other concerns expanding High Court benches to divisional cities to make justice more accessible to the public. Professor Ali Riaz, Vice-Chairman of the Commission, shared these updates during a press briefing yesterday after the ninth day of the second phase of talks at the Foreign Service Academy's Doel Hall.
