The meeting comes after six judges of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) wrote a letter to the Supreme Judicial Council to call a full-court meeting to look into the alleged interference and influence of members of the executive and intelligence agencies in the affairs of the judiciary.

The letter, drafted by six judges of the Islamabad High Court, had requested a judicial convention to address the issue of interference by the executive and intelligence agencies and their influence on judges.

The letter also referenced threatening incidents encountered by the judges from intelligence agencies.

CJP Isa on Wednesday called for a full court session to discuss the letter authored the judges.
