QUETTA: Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar urged on Wednesday judges of the country to make do with the existing laws and resources to provide fair and swift justice.
Addressing a gathering at Balochistan High Court, the chief justice said he failed to comprehend why judges take four years to decide even civil cases.
“I acknowledge that we don’t have the right to amend the obsolete laws of British rule,” he said, asked the judges to dispense fair justice using the laws in hand.
The top adjudicator said they knew that they didn’t have required resources and neither was the government extending cooperation as such.
“The time has come to put our house in order. If we don’t do so, what we will have to say when called to account before Almighty Allah.”
He said he had been vehemently feeling that judges were not utilizing their capabilities to the fullest. “We are not ordinary adjudicators. We too have to take care of the future of the nation.”
