LAHORE: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar on Saturday slammed those criticising the judiciary for delivering verdicts that they deemed unfavourable, saying that they should stop doubting the integrity of the judiciary.

Addressing a Pakistan Bar Council seminar on Saturday, the chief justice remarked that the judiciary is akin to an elder, wise person whose advice everyone seeks. “Judiciary is your baba [elderly, wise man].”

“The baba has neither become a part [of a plan], and neither will it,” he said, stressing that judiciary is working independently without any pressure

“We have made all decisions independently with our conscience,” he remarked, adding that people should stop criticising the judiciary for verdicts against them.

Judges are not part of any plan or any conspiracy.  He said the people who comment on decisions of the court should read the verdict first.

“Experts speaking on television claim that Supreme Court has been split. I can assure you, there is no such thing.”

He asserted that the judiciary is working independently without any pressure. “I don’t know where the claims of planned and pressurised judgments are stemming from,” he added.

“You should be proud of the judiciary. We have made the judiciary independent internally.”
