Black sheep spoiling image of lawyers: LHC CJ
|
[The News (Pak) Top Stories] Lahore High Court Chief Justice Khawaja Muhammad Sharif has asked lawyers to drag out the black sheep from their ranks who are trying to spoil the image of the community that struggled for the restoration of the judiciary.
My solution: Steel Cage Tag Team Texas Death Matches. Judges vs. Lawyers, Cops vs Lawyers, Black Sheep Lawyers vs. Lawyers, Reporters vs. Lawyers. Put it on Pay Per View and retire the national debt.
Addressing the judicial officers, civil society representatives and police officials participating in the National Judicial Conference at the Punjab Judicial Academy on Saturday, the chief justice said that peaceful atmosphere was necessary in the courts for ensuring justice as it was pre-requisite for the economic development of the country.
He was then hit with a folding steel chair pipe...
The atmosphere of courts in some cities was, however, had been polluted due to violence against police and media during the last week, he said, urging the lawyers to adopt a sympathetic attitude towards the litigants as well.
He said the enforcement of the National Judicial Policy had reduced the number of pending cases significantly, adding the cooperation between judicial officers and lawyers could quicken the process. He urged the judicial officers to work hard like Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry for the disposal of all the pending cases, saying if the CJP could work for 18 to 19 hours daily, they should also work for at least 10 to 12 hours a day.
He said that 200 civil judges and 29 family judges would be recruited under the supervision of the high court to remove the shortage of judges in the province. He advised the judicial officers to decide the cases without fear and favour.
He called upon the police to improve the system of investigations and forward the challans to courts under the supervision of the officers so that the real culprits could be brought to book.
He appreciated the establishment of the Punjab Judicial Academy where experienced retired judges of good repute were training the new judicial officers.
Earlier, the District and Sessions Judge, Lahore, explained the aims and objects of the conference and said that honest judges and investigation officers facilitated speedy disposal of cases in accordance with law.
A number of proposals were discussed for dealing with delaying tactics during the hearing of cases in the court during the first and second session of the conference.
Punjab Justinian Academy Consultant Justice (retd) Khalil-ur-Rehman Khan, Director General Justice (retd) Tanvir Ahmed Khan and Directors Fakhar Hayat and Malik Khadim Hussain also attended the conference along with district and sessions judges, civil judges, magistrates and lawyers.
