| [Pak Daily Times] Supreme Court's senior most judge Justice Nasirul Mulk has said that the conduct of judges is more important than knowing the law. He asked every judge to observe the highest standards of judicial conduct. Justice Mulk expressed these views during the certificate-awarding ceremony of a one-week orientation course on "Criminal Trial and Appreciation of Evidence" for civil judges cum judicial magistrates, who hailed from across the country, Azad Jammu and Kashmire and Gilgit-Baltistan. The event was held at the Federal Judicial Academy (FJA) on Friday. He said, "The conduct of a judge is more important than his/her knowing of the law. As you know all that judges are termed as 'honourable' or 'your honour', therefore, they should be honourable in all manners, whereas the lawyers are called as 'the learned lawyer' or 'the learned counsel', therefore, they should also observe the highest standards of legal conduct." Regarding the incumbent Chief Justice of Pakistain Tassaduq Hussain Jillani, he said, "Chief justice of Pakistain takes keen interest in the district judiciary because he believes that 80 percent of the litigation comes to the district judiciary, therefore, all possible steps will be taken to strengthen the district judiciary. It was the district judiciary was extensively discussed during the first full reference meeting of the honourable CJP." |
