Lawyers in Islamabad have expressed their support for the establishment of a Federal Constitutional Court and emphasized the need for comprehensive judicial reforms.
Advocate Asif Irfan, former Secretary of the Islamabad Bar Association, stated that the justice system forms the foundation of any society. He stressed the importance of overhauling the current ineffective judicial system and called for collaboration among all stakeholders to implement judicial reforms.
Advocate Mazhar Javid, also a former Secretary of the Islamabad Bar Association, welcomed the decision to establish a Constitutional Court. He explained that having two separate courts would allow constitutional and political matters to be heard in the Constitutional Court, while general cases would be handled by the Supreme Court. This division, he suggested, would expedite the delivery of justice.
Advocate Javed Iqbal Bande, an advocate of the Supreme Court, highlighted the urgent need for reforms in the current judicial system. He pointed out that cases of ordinary citizens often face delays. Bande noted that the creation of a Constitutional Court would reduce the burden on the Supreme Court, potentially allowing for better handling of public cases.
