ISLAMABAD: The Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court was reconstituted on Monday to commence hearing on a set of challenges to the imposition of super tax on high earning individuals through Section 4C of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.

The composition was changed after Justice Aminuddin Khan, who was heading the bench, noted that one of the bench members, Justice Aamer Farooq, had already given a decision on the matter when he was chief justice of the Islamabad High Court.

The reconstituted bench will comprise Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail, Justice Mohammad Ali Mazhar, Justice Syed Hasan Azhar Rizvi and Justice Shahid Bilal Hassan besides Justice Aminuddin.

While counsel representing different industrial entities requested the bench to hear the matter after Eid, the court rejected the plea and declared that the case would be heard daily from Tuesday.
