New Judicial Policy: The Only Ray of Hope

With Swat operation causing over three million IDPs, threat of suicide attacks by Taliban and the like all over the country, electricity load shedding for more than half of the twenty four hours and all other pre democracy ills of corruption and poor governance moving upwards, new judicial policy announced by the restored judiciary is nothing less than a ray of hope in wilderness. It is a common wish of all citizens to remain away from police, courts and hospitals. As announced, if all fresh and pending cases in the Supreme Court and high courts are decided within one year and those from Baluchistan within six months, it would indeed be a very great blessing. The judicial policy aims at independence of judiciary and expeditious disposal of cases. However, the taste of the pudding lies in its eating. It will indeed a great leap forward as a nation if the policy announced is implemented in letter and spirit.
