Shahid Afridi advises CJP to 'fix black sheeps' within lower courts

Cricketer suggests chief justice should visit lower courts so that he can fix the black sheep within them

Former Pakistan all-rounder and T20 skipper Shahid Afridi on Wednesday congratulated the Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar for taking a stand on some of the most pressing issues of public interest but also advised to “fix the black sheep within” by taking out time to visit the lower courts.



The 38-year old, former captain of Pakistan's national cricket team took to Twitter congratulating the chief justice for doing a "remarkable job" by paying surprise visits to hospitals and schools which according to him, "have been of great service to the nation".

However, the cricketer also suggested that the chief justice should take time to visit the lower courts, "so that he can fix the black sheep within (lower courts) as well".

The chief justice has recently been quite active with visits to government-run facilities e.g hospital and schools in Punjab, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in order to inspect the quality of medical care and standard of education given at such facilities.

He has also taken up a number of suo motu notices for issues related to violation of basic human rights especially when they are concerning deprivation of quality healthcare, education and water for the public.
