[1/2] Lawyers, some of them look on television screen, dispaying the live broadcast of the proceeding from the Supreme Court of Pakistan, at the Sindh High Court Bar Association in Karachi, Pakistan September 18, 2023.
The move marks the beginning of the tenure of new Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa as Pakistan's top judge.
Isa's first move as the top judge was to open proceedings for live broadcast.
"It is a majority consensus decision to telecast live," Isa said at the start of proceedings shown live by state-run broadcaster Pakistan Television.
Previous attempts to broadcast proceedings live had been blocked by the court.
