LAHORE: Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Mian Saqib Nisar on Saturday said that it was the responsibility of judges to give decisions solely on the basis of law, adding that delay in providing justice to common people was an issue that needs to be addressed. Speaking to media, Justice Nasir said that the judicial needs a major overhauling. He added that many old laws, including that of colonial era, have not been amended or updated, terming it one of the hurdles in ensuring a healthy justice system. “We accept the supremacy of the Parliament, and it is very important in a democracy that institutions do not encroach upon each others’ jurisdiction. But has the parliament updated these laws. This is a question I can’t answer,” he said. Speaking about judicial reforms, Justice Nisar said that judiciary in Punjab has seen the best reforms in the country, and has used technology and better organisation to reduce the frequency of pending cases. The chief justice had summoned a meeting on Saturday on reforms in the country’s judicial system, which will be attended by chief justices of all four high courts.
