LAHORE: Chief Justice of the Lahore High Court (LHC) Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah has said development of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) will be a game changer in the judicial system.

He said this while inaugurating the first ADR Centre, on Tuesday.

The CJ said they had to work fast to keep the system functional and ADR would change the entire judicial system. However, he said that strike culture by lawyers must end because it had badly damaged the judicial system.

The CJ said they were set to introduce reforms in the judicial system and international donors were also supporting them. He said he was happy that lawyers were with them and had agreed to change the system. It was their collective responsibility to end the strike culture in the provincial judiciary.

Justice Muhammad Anwarul Haq, Justice Sardar Muhamamd Shamim Ahmad Khan, Justice Aminuddin Khan, Justice Shujaat Ali Khan, Justice Atir Mehmood, Justice Shahid Bilal Hassan, LHC Registrar Syed Khursheed Anwar Rizvi and other officials and senior lawyers were present on the occasion.
