The All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) on Thursday expressed gratitude to lawyers, the Pakistan Bar Council (PBC) and Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) for not observing a strike in connection with the anniversary of the emergency imposed by former president and APML President General (r) Pervez Musharraf in 2007. The party said that after restoration of CJP Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, pending cases in courts had increased gigantically and the structure of lower courts had made accessibility of justice difficult for the people. A special meeting was held at the APML Punjab Secretariat with APML Spokesman Fawad Chaudhry in the chair.
He said that Supreme Court’s Bench No 1 was considered responsible for all legal activities in the country. He said that litigants and other people visiting courts were disappointed from the restored judiciary, as it had failed to come up to expectations of the masses. Fawad said that Musharraf will soon return to Pakistan and with the strength of votes, come into power and make revolutionary changes in the judicial system of the country to restore confidence of the masses on the judiciary.
