Islamabad: Supreme Court judge Justice Mansoor Ali Shah Saturday said that the judiciary will have to be subject to the system instead of individuals.

Addressing the Asma Jahangir Conference in Islamabad, he stated that Asma Jahangir has great services for human rights, it is an honor for him to participate in the Conference and will talk about the future today.

Justice Mansoor Ali Shah added that our judicial history is not proud, ‘We have to reform our institution,’ it is not even that the judicial system is not working. It is written in the constitution that the judiciary should give easy justice. Some decisions may be bad, 4,000 judges are working daily, 2.4 million cases are pending in Pakistan. From January 2023 to December 2023, 1.39 million cases were given decisions.

It is necessary to resort to technology for the pending cases. If we do not incorporate IT in our system, it will be difficult to deal with 2.4 million, stated the judge.

He said that if I ask a session judge, he cannot tell about the case. We have to take smart technology to the district level, the data about our judiciary in the world is a concern.

He further said: “We have 4,000 cases reported daily in the Supreme Court, 1,000 cases are filed in the lower courts, globally there are 90 judges per one million people, here we have 13 judges per one million people, we need 90,000 judges. The highest budget in Brazil is for the judiciary, the army is second”.

He said that in UK there is one lawyer for 203 people, in Pakistan there is one lawyer for 1000 people. The number of lawyers in Pakistan should increase but the lawyers should be right. The commercial courts are given importance all over the world, we should pay attention to it. A commercial corridor will be built in Pakistan, it will facilitate solving the economic issues.

Mansoor Ali also stated that it is everyone's right to criticize the decisions of the courts. According to the constitution, the judiciary should be completely independent.

The judge also added that corruption in the judiciary should be completely eradicated.

Judge who does not deliver should be removed. There should be zero tolerance on corruption. The case management system is very important, it should not be that any case is set to any judge for hearing, said Mansoor Ali Shah.

He said that in Pakistan there is a strike on anything, there will be a strike if the cricket match is lost, people come to the courts by selling goats and buffaloes.

Justice Mansoor continued that according to the World Bank report, 80% of the cases are postponed, where something happens from the side of the judiciary, the lawyers also delay the cases. Realize what it costs a person to come to court during strike.

He further added that 50% of the population of Pakistan are women, but we are not bringing in women judges, only 562 female judges are there. We have to take important steps for this. Unless there is training, the system cannot work. If we leave training and reforms, the system will not improve.

He also stated that if the justice system is weak then no system will work, a strong justice system will strengthen other institutions as well.

Quetta: Chairman Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PMAP) Mahmood Khan Achakzai's arrest warrant has been suspended.

The Judicial Magistrate yesterday issued an arrest warrant for Mahmood Khan Achakzai, chairman of PMAP.

Today, the investigating officer informed the court that there has been a non-compliance of the warrant by the head of the Milli Awami Party.

The Judicial Magistrate suspended the arrest warrant of Mehmood Khan until the next hearing which has been set on May 31.

It is pertinent to note that the district administration registered a case against Mahmood Achakzai on March 11 for interfering in the official property. He was booked under section 448 and section 447 at Gwalmandi police station.

Earlier on March 3, 2024, the Quetta administration raided the residence of party chairman Mahmood, which was strongly condemned by the PMAP.

It was reported that the Quetta administration claimed to end Mahmood Khan Achakzai's illegal occupation of a portion of government-owned land.

Mehmood Khan Achakzai had contested the election as a presidential candidate against President Asif Ali Zardari.

The party alleged that the raid was carried out at Mehmood Achakzai's residence and was a response by "state institutions" to Mahmood Achakzai's recent speech in the National Assembly.

However, the Deputy Commissioner of Quetta, Saad Asad, said that the raid was carried out to recover a part of the land near Achakzai's residence.

Saad Asad had alleged that the reclaimed land (which has an area of 2.5 kanals) was surrounded by four walls and illegally occupied by Mehmood Achakzai.

He stated that revenue officials and law enforcement agencies had taken back the illegally occupied land and taken it into custody.

A committee headed by the Assistant Deputy Commissioner (Revenue) of Quetta was formed to identify illegal encroachments on land owned by the Balochistan government, after which the local administration called on the police and the revenue department yesterday. The raid was carried out in collaboration with the authorities.

A number of places were identified by the committee, including several public and private properties, which were allegedly illegally occupied by various people.

On March 4, Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto had condemned the raid on Mehmood Achakzai's house while addressing the assembly session.

Bilawal Bhutto said that due to this matter the presidential election is being controversial for no reason. He also appealed to take action against the alleged raid on Mehmood Achakzai's house.
