The Court is scheduled to resume its regular functioning on Monday, 8th September 2025.
“In view of the pressing need to address pending cases, the Chief Justice has directed that Hon’ble Judges shall avail only one month of summer vacation and to communicate the specific dates of their intended leave. Additionally, the Hon’ble Judges are being requested to indicate a period of 15 days during which they would be available to work at a station of their choice, with the remaining days to be spent at the Principal Seat in Islamabad.
“Furthermore, the judges who are part of the Constitutional Bench have been informed that their one-month vacation period will be subject to their engagement in ongoing constitutional proceedings.
This pragmatic approach reflects the Supreme Court’s steadfast commitment to ensuring continuous access to justice and strengthening institutional responsiveness, even during the traditional court recess.”
