KARACHI:
It goes without saying that a nation cannot progress without a legal system. The judiciary must have powers to figure out breaches and rectify the loopholes present in the legal system. I believe that the causes are not bigger than judicial wisdom and fractures are mostly healable. The important thing is how the judicial system delivers to the litigants; how it interprets, recognises and addresses the weak fragments of society.
Another concern is how to pull through the cases that have long been accumulating and pending as quickly as possible. The judicial system must be highly principled, unbribed and virtuous. Whatever the fortune ahead and wherever our nation is stepping forward, we need an ethical and unbiased judicial system. It must dominate all other institutions with unquestionable resolution. The infrastructure must have sovereign powers to control society in order to breed a benevolent and humane nation. It is the only way to remove stigmas without tearing apart its features. Otherwise, the nation will bleed and choke to its demise. As the judicial system composes its strength and stands upon its feet, the society will be bound to bow before its customary rules under its dense shade of discrimination.
Life should not be a network of aesthetic complications; rather, it is a road of common people, understanding and believing in universal rules together. An exemplary society is a condensed form of education and justice; and without these paramount sources of life, society will be deflated.
