The first female judge of Federal Shariat Court Justice Ashraf Jahan said that a key role of the family court judges is to save families from breaking.
She expressed these views in the certificate awarding ceremony of two different training courses at Federal Judicial Academy on Saturday.
“A proper pre-trial guidance and counselling of the estranged couples can save a noble institution of family from breaking. Because of the complex, multidimensional nature of family cases, family court judges must possess additional knowledge, skills, and qualities not required by their colleagues who handle other types of cases”, she added
Advising the family court judges she said, “Your passion will always lead you to your purpose. You always get what you focus on. Discourage delaying tactics used by the parties in family related cases. Always keep in mind that there is a great reward for those judges who give right and judicious decisions and similarly there is a severe punishment for those who give wrong and unjust decisions,” she warned.
