President, Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA), Asma Jehangir stressed the need to reform bar councils and associations. Addressing members of the Sindh High Court Bar Association and Sukkur District Bar Association here on Thursday, she said that amendments to the Registration Act and defender's law were needed.
Referring to a demand for appointment of judges from Sindh, she said sarcastically: "You are not being inducted as judges because you have talent". She regretted that those who were deemed to be having integrity and ability during the lawyers' movement were now being treated as incompetent and dishonest.
Ms Jahangir further said, she has reservations on some matters pertaining to case management that has badly affected lawyers in the apex court. They don't get the cause list until Friday. She said she had refused to recommend lawyers for appointment as judges, adding that it was the judges' responsibility to find candidates and evaluate their ability because lawyers appeared in cases before them.
