Admiring the role of legal fraternity in lawyers' movement in which they stood firm during the judicial crisis and struggled hard to bring rule of law in the society through peaceful efforts, Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry said, "a huge responsibility lying on the shoulders of legal fraternity to standby the supremacy of the Constitution and rule of law".
This was stated by the Chief Justice of Pakistan at a meeting with a 13-member delegation of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council headed by Chairman Executive Committee Naeem-ud-din Khan on Monday in Supreme Court Building, Islamabad. The delegation thanked the Chief Justice of Pakistan for sparing time for them and informed him about the services and sacrifice rendered by the KP Bar Council during the days of movement and told that the Bar is committed and devoted for the cause of rule of law, supremacy of Constitution and independence of judiciary.
The Bar left no stone unturned for the advancement of this cause during the movement. They informed the Chief Justice of Pakistan about their hardships. The Chief Justice assured them to take up the matter with authorities concerned. They further praised the National Judicial Policy which proved fruitful for lawyers as well as litigants and enhanced the public confidence in courts by providing inexpensive and expeditious disposal to them.
They informed the CJP that due to National Judicial Policy, the disposal rate in their courts is satisfactory. However, disposal should not be at the cost of quality of justice. They, therefore, proposed that steps should be taken to further improve the quality of judgements. The delegation assured of full support and stand by judiciary in time of need.
