Judicial Activism in the Current State of Pakistan

As having the gift of gab and having the privilege to be associated with the legal profession, I will try my best to interpret the preface of the Judiciary with the art and sharpness of my pen.

Since the last few epoch, the role of the judiciary has become the integral fragment of social media, owing to its incredible and uncomprehending activism.

Judicial layout in Pakistan is deliberate to be peculiar because of its axiomatic and momentous judgments. In fact, an active judicial role exerted by the judiciary can be a democratic and constitutionally legitimate means to fortify a cultivating democratic network.

Judiciary has to enrich its ambit due to the low key role performed by the Government institutions and officials, vastly after the Panama Papers verdict. Under the surveillance of prestigious CJP Mian Saqib Nisar, Judiciary has festinated its key role against the culprits and felons to audit the anomalies and to eradicate the fistula of corruption from Pakistan.

Supreme Court is taking suo moto notices against the unhygienic plight of the country to scrutinize the audit. Judiciary clinches the hearts of majority, but beyond that antagonistic reflex can be seen by the specified floor.

In the current scenario,  CJP,  Mian Saqib Nisar is getting popular owing to his dynamic exploit against the feudalism. Immediate actions against the owners of  the medical colleges in guilt of collecting undue fee and his incitement includes the project of transparent and pure water,blockade of roads for VIP movements, to ameliorate the condition of hospitals,money laundering of Pakistanis in foreign accounts,sale of expensive,illegal constructions, security barriers in public streets, EXACT fake degree scam etc.,

Judiciary must be strengthened and released from political interference. No doubt, the Hon. Judges are executing their task with diligence, but still, a lot of pending cases in the courts are pointing towards a noteworthy situation, and vacancies of civil judges might be one of the hinder factors for this.

Pakistan had been caught in the cross-hairs of challenges. To sum up, the judiciary should be impeccably and practically effective and full-fledged. Adequate, palpable, realistic and authoritative policies need to be devised by Judiciary. It is the judiciary which ensures peace. It demonstrates that justice is mandatory to bring peace in the current situation of the state.
