Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry said on Saturday that no one would be allowed to rise above the law and defile the rule of law.
He was addressing Peshawar High Court Bar Association at PHC building. Judges of the Supreme Court Justice Mian Shakirullah Jan, acting Chief Election Commissioner, and Justice Nasirul Mulk, PHC CJ Dost Muhammad Khan, Balochistan High Court Chief Justice Qazi Faez Essa, LHC CJ, Federal Shariat Court Chief Justice, Gilgit Baltistan CJ, former judges, prominent lawyers and legal fraternity attended the function. The CJ told the lawyers that their efforts for upholding the rule of law would not go waste.
He said the judiciary could not administer justice without cooperation of the bar. “Being the wheels of the same chariot of justice, they endeavour individually and collectively to achieve the common objective of administration of justice,” he added.
He said since the implementation of national judicial policy, the achievements for early dispensation of justice could not be met without cooperation of the legal fraternity. “The courts worked hard to achieve the objectives and targets set by the national judicial policy and their achievement were the results of whole hearted support and cooperation offered by the bar members,” he said. The chief justice said equality before law was an essential prerequisite for imparting justice and legal community had to play a significant role in the system of administration of justice.He said imparting justice was a divine job and without cooperation and assistance of the lawyers this sacred obligation couldn’t see the light of the day.

  1. Your statements are as hollow as politicians. In fact Judiciary is itself protecting perpetual rule of the elite class.

  2. N0 one would be allowed to rise above the law, Do what ever devilish act wants to do under the protection of law, like memo issue, letter issue, rental power issue, target killing issue, law & order issue. In the history of Pakistan criminals never ever got the opportunities like this time our law is providing them.

    • You forgot to mention Jack Boots with whom they are sleeping partners, just like a silent copy.

  3. Nothing but a mere 'Attention Grabber' from leader of another emerging political party in Pakistan: 'The Supreme Court'!

  4. PPP LEADERS MUST CHANGE THEIR HOSTILE POLICIES AND COMPLETE THEIR TENURE COMFORTABLY AND PEACEFULLY.BUT THEIR BEHAVIOUR IS CONDEMNABLE AND DEPLORABLE.THIS DICTATORSHIP TREND MUST BE CHANGED AS PAKISTAN IS NOT EMPIRE ANS SLAVE STATE FOR PPP AND OTHER POWER GREEDY ALLIANCES.
