Abstract
In tripartite governments where system of checks and balances prevails, judges’ appointment to the Superior Courts is one of the constitutional tools for controlling judicial organ. Through 18th Constitutional Amendment, the government brought about revolutionary reforms in the appointment of the judges to the Superior Courts, which the latter considered an attack on its autonomy. With qualitative research methodology, this research article aims to investigate mechanism for judicial appointments in the light of constitutional amendments and
critically examined judicial response thereto. The research at hand concluded that judiciary had pushed parliament back to pre-18th constitutional amendment where chief justice has final say, despite of the institutionalization of the appointment process.
