Law and Justice Commission has decided to post a senior level representative in every province to strengthen coordination between bar associations and the commission. The representatives will sit in respective high courts and serve as liaisons to raise awareness among district bar associations, identify local priority areas, and supervise ongoing justice sector initiatives at the grassroots level.
The decision was taken in a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Justice of Pakistan Yahya Afridi on Thursday at the Supreme Court Branch Registry, Lahore.
Emphasizing the importance of synergy, the chief justice urged bar representatives to sensitize their respective bar associations about these developments and to proactively engage in these reform initiatives.
He further directed that all support and facilities extended to the bar associations by the federal government must be streamlined and structured to avoid duplication and ensure efficiency.
The CJP also called upon provincial line departments to remain actively engaged with the resident additional secretary of the commission for timely and effective implementation of district-level projects forwarded by district coordination committee headed by the district and sessions Judge.
He noted with concern the lack of infrastructure, including solarization and digital integration, in less developed districts, and stressed the need for targeted interventions in such areas.
