ensure speedy justice
PESHAWAR
Amun Taraqqi Party (ATP) chairman Muhammad Faiq Shah said rule of law and provision of justice is imperative for stability and development of the society.
According to a statement here on Wednesday, Mr Shah said it is in dire need of hour to amend the current judicial system to ensure speedy justice to people.
He said justice was only delivered to the elite, which indicates the existence of two types of justice system, ‘one for rich’ and ‘other for poor’.
The ATP chairman strongly opposed any move to cause rifts between top jurists of the Supreme Court and legal fraternity, because it would create hurdles in quick dispensation of justice to ordinary citizens.
He said close coordination and relations between top jurists and lawyers are key for better delivery of justice.
Cordial relations between bench and bar are crucial to solve litigants’ problems, he stressed.
On the other hand, Shah hailed CJP Justice Faez Isa for holding direct proceeding of the Supreme Court and expressing hope that all requirements of justice would be fulfilled.
Faiq emphasized provision of justice was a major issue of our country and society, which has been snatched that created division.
The party leader said people were put behind the heroism but justice books became dent.
He said backlogs of cases in upper and lower judiciary have increased and the piling up of cases can only be overcome by addressing increasing judges and staff deficiency.
He maintained injustice has crossed its limits by socially, morally and economically.
Cruel segments of the society wore the guise of the mafia, he added.
In the prevailing circumstances, Shah said people have pinned high hopes from new CJP Justice Faez Isa for which performance of subordinate courts should be made better and concrete wherein results should be evaluated on a daily basis.
He called for bringing reforms in ‘Thana’, prosecution and FIA.
At the same time, he showed concerns over politics of vendetta.
He said issues must be resolved through dialogue to bring political stability.
