Azam Nazir Tarar said that the bill is about the power to create a bench, which is not yet a law, but he agreed that you have created a bench on it, according to all traditions and principles of propriety. The Chief Justice himself should not head this bench, because there is a conflict of interests, the bar councils and bar associations demanded that a law should be made regarding his powers.
