The Federal Cabinet has made significant strides in updating the legal framework governing Pakistan’s Armed Forces. At a pivotal meeting chaired by Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, the Cabinet approved amendments to the Pakistan Army Act, Pakistan Air Force Act, and Pakistan Navy Act. This decision, made at the Parliament House in Islamabad, is a strategic move to ensure the country’s military laws are in sync with the Twenty-seventh Constitutional Amendment. The amendments, particularly those affecting Article 243 of the Constitution, introduce crucial changes, including the term limits for the Chief of Defence Forces. One notable change is the abolition of the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee post upon the retirement of the current holder. Additionally, the ranks of Field Marshal, Marshal of the Air Force, and Admiral of the Fleet have been officially recognized in these updated acts. The Cabinet also gave the green light to the Federal Constitutional Court (Procedure and Practice) Act, 2025, further solidifying the legal framework. This comprehensive approach to military law reform is a testament to the government’s commitment to transparency and accountability, inviting public discussion and feedback on these critical amendments.
