Justice rushed is justice denied: CJP Saqib Nisar

F.P. Report

LAHORE: Chief Justice Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar has cautioned that justice rushed is akin to justice denied.

Expressing dissatisfaction at the pace of courts to dispose off cases Chief Justice Saqib Nisar addressing Women Judges Conference here added that the judgments and orders issued during the process of the dispensation of justice should be free from all doubts.

We are lucky to receive written proposals and suggestions to help resolve gender discrimination and though our constitution is free of any gender discrimination unfortunately in many areas of the country women are not accorded the status that they deserve.

However, the situation in cities and urban areas in this regard is quite different. We have to introduce a system in courts where an effected person, particularly women folk, feels any hesitation to share problem.

Calling delay in decisions at courts the single most worrying concern presently Chief Justice Pakistan said that though establishment of Model Courts is a great they would not do any good unless the justice dispensing system picks up speed.
