Corrupt Judiciary In Pakistan

[Dr ali ahmad]

What is judicial independence and how much is it important for a country are the questions which we need to have a clear vision about. Is judiciary pillar of our country independent and free from any influence and interference from the government in order to claim to be the champion of rule of law. Unfortunately, the answer is in No.

Constitutional theories require that the judiciary be separate from and independent of the government, in order to ensure the rule of law and to ensure that the law is enforced impartially and consistently no matter who is in power, and without undue influence from any other source. Mostly, the independence of the judiciary refers to becoming independent of the dictates of the government.

The doctrine of the "separation of powers" has traditionally proposed that the state is divided into the separate and distinct arms of Executive, Legislature and Judiciary, whereby each arm acts as a "check and balance" on the others. However, there should not be any interference in or any influence, whatsoever, on the judiciary.

Judges are expected to have sound sense and a feeling of self-respect. Judges who have no self-respect, create numerous gods for themselves. Jusice Iftikhar Chaudhry has proved himself to be dirty spot on judiciary. He has no sense of self respect. The worst part of the tragedy is that when such matters surface, they do not feel insulted; Chaudhry has hailed the flawed verdict of the Judicial commision as a milestone in the country's history.

Judges of an independent judiciary do not act in a manner that could result in their own insult. For the same reasons,* former chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry and Justice (retd) Khalilur Rehman Ramday,* allegedly supervising rigging during the May 2013 general elections, are examples of a highly low standard of judiciary in Pakistan.

In Pakistan, neither the judiciary as an institution nor the individual judges are independent. The release of Ayyan Ali who was arrested in money laundering and recent judicial commision report on 2013 General Elections* are crude examples.

I fully agree with you.IK always said that the system of Kufer will work but a system with out justice will not work.

 

[vhaseeb]

Thanks! fully agree with your viewpoint.

 

[Ali.Pakistani]

You are right. But the day Ayan Ali got released was the day when the last bit of present Judicial system collapsed. May ALLAH Almighty show them the right path, Aameen!

Judges are not only financially corrupt but the whole of judiciary is politicised.

The judges are selected on the basis of their relationship with the judiciary.
There is test not psychological examination just affiliations with the group in power

Beyond doubt judiciary is most corrupt institution in Pakistan, no justice and you have get verdict in your favor whether right or wrong on the basis of your money. See what happened in Arslan Iftikhar case, you have to milk judiciary in your favor what Malik Riaz is doing. See on the floor of the parliment serious allegations were raised against each other what happened muk muka. People who are saying system should run is actually truck ki bati to prolong the status quo. Only answer is bloody revolution just hang them all these criminals in an exemplary style and that day is not very far when the injustices reach to such degree then divine justice prevails and which you call it Azaab Elahi.
