Acting Chief Election Commissioner Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani is the senior-most judge of the Supreme Court after Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry.
The seniority list of judges issued by the Supreme Court on Wednesday revealed that after the CJP, Justice Jillani is on the top of the seniority list, whereas Justice Nasirul Mulk comes on second place.
The list shows that Justice Jawad S. Khawaja is on the third place whereas Justice Zaheer Anwar Jamali comes on fourth position. Similarly Justice Khilji Arif Hussain comes on fifth status in the seniority list.
It is very much possible that after the retirement of Justice Chaudhry in December this year, senior most judge, Justice Jillani might be elevated to the post of the CJP.
