  1. its only favourtism ..only to gain popularity among the mass that judicery got great achivement..in other sense chief justice had ruined 14 families..its not the way to terminate them.Most of effected judges had given 18 to 20 years of their age for serving judicery.but C.j ruined their life and all services in a second.Its not the justice….He could terminate them for some month as a punishment..But unfortunately c.j proof himself Firon …he deprived 14 families from their living…..Its totally unfair way.kindly stop such type of life termination.Thanks.

    • miss saira irfan, u r more concerned about ruining the lives of these thirteen termites but what about those poor litigants who waited outside their court room expecting justice from them but they don,t know that person they r seeking justice from have already sold their conscience to MONEY

    • CJ still could not deliver the justice.
      Further actions required
      If the allegations proved against them. Corrupt judges should have been sent to the prison for life.

  2. True.
    But
    A person has to act within the limits of his/her job.
    Honorable CJ did what he has got from the complaints and after inquiry made a decision.
    Termination is not a way to give punishment,
    Stoppage of promotion etc was the much more punishment.

  3. Its good decision; if meritious.otherwise not.Black sheeps of department should be dealt strictly; in accordingly laws. I salute courageous cj of peshawar high court.

  4. oh really termination is not the solution to this problem then what is the solution? to allow these termites sucking the blood of poor litigants. i know most of these judges who got terminated and can with certainity that all of them r corrupt to the core.

  5. This seems a poor management, if your finger become wounded would you cut it or cure to heal it.??
    Why charges on the 14 judges are not put to public ?
    Did the Honorable Chief justis has any hold on the Lawyers?
    Who bribes a judge? off course a Lawyer.. who will punish them.
    Is there any mechanism to stop a Lawyer from Practice if he was found guilty of bribing a judge, approaching a judge or creating problem for the court? surly a Big Noooo
    Majority of the readers and supportive staff of court takes openly bribe can PHC stop this?
    Is there any Quality assurance system in the judictiory like random rechecking of the decision ? No
    Many more question worth to ask but ….no use.
