Security situation: Admit you have failed in Balochistan, CJ tells IGFC, chief secretary

Says will summon governor once they admit failure.


Web Desk September 05, 2012

QUETTA: An irked Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry told the Inspector General of Frontier Corps (IGFC) and the chief secretary to admit they had failed in Balochistan, adding that the governor would be summoned once they had done so, Express News reported on Wednesday.

The chief justice made these remarks in the Quetta Registry of the Supreme Court, while hearing the case pertaining to enforced disappearances and law and order situation in Balochistan.

He was heading a three-member bench which included Justice Khilji Arif Hussain and Justice Jawwad S Khawaja.

In the previous day’s hearing, a visibly angry chief justice said that Attorney General Ifran Qadir would not be allowed to enter the court without prior permission.

He had also summoned the federal secretaries for interior and defence on Wednesday to apprise the court of steps taken to improve law and order in the province.

@A: Even if we go by your stats, 10% would also make a staggering figure of 300000. it will still require 200 years for the supreme court to clear these cases if no more cases are added to it. So do you see any utility of these courts ? This drama of justice should die. It does not have the capacity to deliver justice. We need to bring reforms to the judicial system and must finish organizations which cannot deliver. I can see Supreme Court and high Courts parked in Privatization commission for sale. Although justice is still sold while it is a public sector Organization. (Institution has a different definition)

@A J Khan: Please get your facts rights ( I guess you get all this false information from faisal abidi). The 3 million figure is not correct. About 2.7 million cases are pending in TOTAL including highcourts and lower courts. Less than 10% are pending in supreme court. This figure is better than India which has 30 mil cases pending ! So stop trying to malign the judiciary which is probably the only institution which is trying its best to eradicate corruption. It's not perfect but probably the only institution working for the betterment of the country.
