‘Establishment’s interference in judiciary to end soon’

Lahore High Court Chief Justice Malik Shahzad Ahmad has said that the judiciary is struggling to get rid of the interference of the establishment and is sure that the meddling will end soon.

Speaking at the ceremony in Rawalpindi today, the LHC top judge said that the complainants approach to this judicial system, which is made for the weak members of the society.

He further said that delay in decisions of cases is the biggest problem as three generations wait for verdicts. It takes 30-30 years, cases are delayed because witnesses cannot appear.

The LHC chief justice added complaints of interference by institutions in the judiciary keep coming up. Two or three days ago, a judge’s complaint has come out in which the judge has shared all the incidents of interference. The good thing is that after revealing everything, the judge said that he is not afraid and he just wants to bring to the knowledge of the Chief Justice. The judiciary has to deal with this interference and not to hesitate to make any sacrifice, he continued.

Justice Malik Shahzad Ahmad said that judiciary is performing its duties without any fear and greed. I am happy that the district judiciary is working without any fear and greed, I am proud of the subordinate judiciary, he added.
