Sixteenth Amendment
Sixteenth Amendment debate / The need for calm and reason
By delaying the formulation of a detailed law, the Parliament may have missed an opportunity to allay some of the concerns relating to the 16th Amendment. For instance, the Chairperson of the Law Commission commented that the proposed law on the detailed procedure for impeachment of the judges would have contained a provision that Article 70 of the Constitution would not apply in voting on the issue of impeachment.
