Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Tassaduq Hussain Jillani on Saturday said administering speedy and inexpensive justice was the prime responsibility of judiciary.
“Providing speedy and inexpensive justice is primary responsibility of judiciary. It is constitutional obligation that the judiciary should demonstrate good performance,” he said this while addressing lawyers in a meeting of the national judicial policy making committee held here under him Saturday.
He stated International Judicial Conference is going to be held on April 18-19 which will benefit us enormously. He stressed that institutions related to judicial system will have to be strengthened more and an early disposal of overseas cases will enhance trust on judicial system. Overseas Pakistanis are playing a pivotal role in the social and political matters, he held.
He pointed out that he had asked the government to increase the strength of judges so that the cases could be decided early but no steps have been taken on this count, he added.
