The head of Morocco’s apex court, Justice Mustapha Fares, visited Mazar-e- Quaid and attended a dinner hosted by Prof. Khurshid A Hashmi and the faculty members of SM Law College on Friday.
Justice Fares was given a tour of the library and sat in classrooms during lectures.
The chief justice of Morocco was very happy to be in Karachi. He said that both Islamic countries had a good relationship and the judiciaries had developed closer ties and increased collaboration. He added that the credit for this collaboration lay with the chief justice of the Shariat Court who visited Arab countries and invited their chief judges to visit Pakistan.
According to Fares, these trips and exchange of delegations would help strengthen judicial relations. While talking to the media, he said that an agreement would be signed by the judiciaries of Pakistan and Morocco for increased interaction. “We will also hold a conference on strengthening judicial links,” he said. “Both judiciaries are different but both are independent and delivering justice.”
While talking to the media at the mausoleum, the Sindh High Court Chief Justice Musheer Alam said that the shortage of judges in court would be resolved in the next couple of weeks. The chief justice of the Federal Shariat Court, Justice Agha Rafique Ahmed Khan was also there.
