Islamabad High Court judge Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb on Saturday said judges were custodians of the rule of law and called upon them to live up to public faith in the judiciary.
He was addressing participants of a week-long course on “Criminal Trial
and Appreciation of Evidence” at the Federal Judicial Academy (FJA).
A total of 26 civil judges cum magistrates from all over Pakistan as well as Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir attended the training.
“A judge both in his private and professional life should behave in a manner as to preserve the dignity of the office. The conduct of a judge must reaffirm the people’s faith in the integrity of the judiciary.
As judgeship is a sacred trust of Allah, therefore we must understand and realise that there is no room for error. Our decisions and judgments must speak and become our recognition as a symbol of justice in the society,” he said.
He also distributed certificates among the participants. FJA Director General Fakhar Hayat also spoke at the concluding ceremony of the course.
