Nobody can get his or her work done without greasing the palms of the corrupt judicial staff
KARACHI: Corrupt practices are on a rampage in our judicial system. For instance, if someone wants to get back surety papers or a certain amount of cash deposited as surety, after the final conclusion or at any stage of a legal proceeding, he or she is forced to grease the palms of the court staff at every level. The staff of our judiciary is immersed in the lust for money and takes bribes as if they are entitled to it as a ‘right’.
Nobody can get his or her work done without greasing the palms of the corrupt judicial staff. The chief justice of Pakistan is requested to kindly take cognisance of this highly deplorable state of affairs that is prevalent in our judicial system. The system needs to be purged and overhauled on an urgent basis.
