ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Yahya Afridi Tuesday renewed the judiciary’s commitment to reducing delays and providing relief to the litigants, thereby fostering trust in the judicial institutions.
He passed these remarks during a meeting with a delegation of probationary officers undergoing training at the Civil Services Academy (CSA), Lahore Tuesday.
The probationers visited the Supreme Court as part of their study tour.
The chief justice also addressed the pressing issue of case pendency and elaborated on the hierarchical structure of the judiciary, comprising the Supreme Court, high courts, and district courts.
The chief justice provided an insightful introduction to Pakistan’s constitutional history, tracing its evolution from 1947 to 2024 promulgation of the 26th Constitutional Amendment.
He explained the distinct yet interdependent roles of the three pillars of the state: the legislature, tasked with making and amending laws; the executive, responsible for implementing laws; and the judiciary, charged with interpreting laws and ensuring justice.
Meanwhile, the session concluded with an engaging question-and-answer discussion, during which the chief justice addressed queries from the probationers.
As a token of respect and goodwill, souvenirs were exchanged between the delegation and the Supreme Court.
