Incompetence has set an air of bad governance in country: CJ Jamali
Some of the institutions working in country can be built as role model for society, says CJ Jamali
HYDERABAD (Dunya News) – Chief Justice (CJ) Supreme Court of Pakistan Anwar Zaheer Jamali on Saturday stated that incompetence of different institutions has set an air of bad governance in the country. Addressing a dinner event of District Bar Association in Civil Court Park, Hyderabad, CJ Jamali said 75 percent of the cases that appear in courts are due to the ineptitude of the institutions.
According to the details, CJ Jamali people would not be forced to visit the courts if departments work within legal and constitutional boundaries. He stated that some of the institutions working in the country, including the judiciary, can be built as a role model for the society.
Speaking on the occasion, CJ Jamali stated that the vacant positions for judges in the Supreme Court and High Courts of all four provinces will be filled by end of this year.
Jamali stated that the court’s job was not only to hand out verdicts but to ensure that justice was being provided. He stated that the responsibility to provide swift affordable justice to people rests with the judicial system and the judges. Jamali further added the misconception that appointment of Judges of High Court, Additional Session Judges and Civil Judges was based on nepotism and not on merit was false. He said to prove this point it can be noted that 3500 applications were seen for 74 positions of Civil Judges, from which only 17 Judges were selected.
Addressing the event, Chief Justice Sindh High Court Faisal Arab that lawyers should strive for betterment and should not be intimidated by fear of verdict. He stated that the new lawyers should work hard and become the support of the judiciary.
A large group of lawyers along with Judges of the Supreme Court, High Court and Lower Courts were invited at the dinner event in Hyderabad.
