\nThey said PMLN government has fulfilled yet another promise made with people of Fata and made politics of opponent issues less.
\nFata reforms would help bring prosperity, development and progress in tribal areas besides expending pace of economic development and speedy justice to all litigants, adding the bill would help pave way the way for abolishment of century-old draconian FCR law.
\nThey said litigants would get right of appeal, presenting proof of evidences and hiring of legal counsel of choice for petitions.
