KARACHI: President Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) Asma Jahangir has cautioned if commission on Abbottabads operation is constituted like commission on missing persons then it will be only a waste paper.
She said this in Meet the Press Program here Saturday in Karachi Press Club.
She regretted that human lives have no value in the country and government has failed to control lawlessness. People are committing suicides and judges are enjoying chief minister protocol.
The erstwhile court was court of establishment and the present court is saying change has come in its vision, she said adding this court at least is not official court. The current judiciary has rendered several good decisions but there are certain decisions which are incompatible with the dignity of the judiciary, she remarked. Court had not right to repeal 19th amendment, she added. Such right rested with the people only, she held.
Judges be appointed in high courts, she demanded. Dictatorship benefits only the effluents as they become ambassador overnight while democracy, may it be crippled benefits common man. Democracy does not come only through elections, she remarked.
Sessions judges were promoted in Lahore but the lawyers were not inducted as judges, she pointed out. Judges be taken from all segments of society, she stressed.
Focus is not being placed on governance in judiciary, she said adding I dont like PCO judge who has taken bath in Ganga, she observed.
We know the compulsions of parliament. We are realistic and we want to charter out a way to avert every situation, she added.
Extra judicial killing was going on in every province but the judiciary releases the accused persons soon, she underlined.
