What did the country see? in National Assembly on onest. of Ramadan was truly unprecedented. Unfortunately, Imran Khan was ill-informed by his legal entity. team. So far he had the law minister whose advice took a priority over other. It is obvious that his night departure and joining opposition ranks left Imran with a big problem.
Imran Khan originally used to have luxury of on the advice of Hamid Khan, senior advocate of Supreme Court, who was one of founding members of PTI, but again Imran’s myopia and selfishness forced Hamid Khan to leave. After that, as they say,in absence of light, darkness reigned.
Supreme Court on On April 7, a historic decision was made, which, according to the majority of lawyers, it in conformity with Law and Constitution. Not only did the Supreme Court unanimously set despite the unconstitutional decision of the deputy speaker and ordered the subsequent actions of the then prime minister as well as the president to be reversed, he also rejected the government’s arguments for applying the much maligned doctrine of need in the more public interest.
For three and a half half years Imran Khan fought with politicians and tried to expose their corruption, step it could be commendable if he did not forget to do the most necessary – fix in economy.
political activities of Imran Khan party “Tehrik e Insaf”, unfortunately failed to fix very basic what they promised the masses. Delivery of insaf i.e justice is his main campaign slogan. Instead, Khan attacked the judiciary by filing a complaint against Judge Qazi Faez Isa. If Khan was so determined to wash corruption out of the judiciary, then why one or are two judges being pursued? Imran could target corruption by fixing the entire judiciary system. But he failed to fix thing that provides justice everyone. He failed change old and outdated procedures that are still used by the courts. Khan failed to ensure that it is easy for every citizen access to justice system in Pakistan. Beyond the judiciary, corruption in police system and civil bureaucracy also increased sharply.
Unhappy reality it’s even those who came before him failed to fix legal system. For example, the Code of Civil Procedure, developed by the British in 1908 and to this day are completely outdated. in my opinion. With a pass of time the british themselves updated their code and keep abreast with in requirements of developing judiciary system whereas we decided not to; and even after 100 years we follow code that was designed to meet the needs of judicial system who died when the British left. we are not need amendments in this code. We need a new code that will serve 21st. century lawyer and plaintiff. Unfortunately no government considered it. The same applies to the Code of Criminal Procedure. of 1898
Now I’m afraid it doesn’t matter who shapes new government, result unfortunately it will be the same zero. Previous governments attacked the judiciary too much in to protect your sovereign rule. So I ask you what changed?
