"Our moto is zero tolerance towards corruption and we need corruption free judiciary," said the Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry while addressing a delegation of Islamabad District Bar Association. The delegation was headed by its President Haroon-ur-Rasheed and other office bearers, who called on the Chief Justice of Pakistan here on Tuesday.
Talking about the complaints of corruption in paralegal staff, the CJP stressed that corrupt elements must be pinpointed so that corruption can be discouraged and stamped out. Corruption, not only brings bad name for the institution but it also demolishes the image in society. Therefore, Bar must play an active and effective role for eradication of corruption in judiciary because the role of Bar is very important and without the active co-operation of the Bar, nothing can be achieved, he underlined.
Praising the role of Islamabad District Bar, the Chief Justice added that the Bar has always played an active role and extended effective support to the judiciary for rule of law and supremacy of Constitution in the country. The services rendered by the President and office-bearers as well as members of the Islamabad District Bar Association cannot be forgotten because they played vital and important role to achieve the cause of supremacy of Constitution and rule of law in society.
The delegation paid tributes to the Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry for his untiring efforts to ensure justice at the door steps of public at large. The delegation invited Chief Justice of Pakistan to visit Islamabad District Bar Association.
