LAHORE:
Justice Umar Atta Bindial, said on Saturday that hard work and good intention were essential in dispensing justice to the masses. He was speaking at the inauguration of the Rs796 million judicial complex on Saturday.
He urged the judicial officers and Lahore Bar Association (LBA), at the inauguration, to make balanced decisions adding that an ideal decision was one which both parties agreed upon and did not appeal against. Bindial said that the poor masses depended on the judiciary and should not be disappointed at any cost.
He added that LBA’s problems will be resolved in cooperation with the latter and that the LBA was an international institution, which is second to none in the world.
Bindial was responding to issues raised by LBA president Shehzad Hassan Shaikh regarding the construction of a bridge from the bar room at Aiwan-e-Adl to the court building and a raise in the allowances and salaries of court staffers.
District and Sessions Judge Mujahid Mustaqeem Ahmed said that the problem of a lack of courts was raised in the chamber of Chief Justice Lahore High Court and today Bindial was inaugurating one.
Ahmed said that litigants would be facilitated at the new complex which would house all the courts instead of being scattered all over. He also referred to the once poor state of the old sessions court which had stagnant pools of water, causing inconvenience to litigants and judicial officers.
He said that courts would become ‘castle of justice’ if relations between bar and bench continued to progress.
LBA president Shaikh also spoke at the occasion.
Senior Civil Judge Atta Rabani, Civil Judges and other Additional District & Sessions Judges were also present at the occasion.
The complex would include seven courts on the ground floor, eight courts each on the first and second floor, 672 chambers for lawyers and two basements to accommodate around 400 cars.
