Chief Justice Dr. Syed Refat Ahmed has said the Appellate Division does not want to reinstate the caretaker government system merely as a stopgap arrangement but rather seeks a long-term and effective solution to ensure political stability. During Wednesday’s hearing on review petitions challenging the scrapping of the caretaker system, he asked: “If we restore it, from when will it take effect?” The hearing, now on its second day, is examining four petitions filed by political parties and six individuals seeking a reversal of the earlier verdict that abolished the system.
