Friday, a delegation from the IMF governance and corruption evaluation and corruption evaluation team encountered SCBA representatives to discuss gaps in the judicial system and efforts to curb corruption in government institutions.
The president of the SCBAP, Mian Muhammad Rauf Atta, led the delegation of the association in the discussions. The IMF team is in Pakistan as part of the current examination of the judicial framework under the ease of extended funds of $ 7 billion (EFF). The meeting lasted more than an hour and took place in a cordial and constructive atmosphere.
The member of Pakistan Bar Council (PBC), Hasan Raza Pacha, as well as the additional secretary of the SCBA, Muhammad Aurangzeb Khan and the president of the association of the bar of the high court of Balutchistan, Mir Ataullah Lango, were also present during discussions.
According to a press release published by the SCBA, the main objective of Reunion was to slow down corruption to create a friendly environment in Pakistan. The president of the SCBA underlined the defects of the judicial system, including the command book of the lower and district courts and the shortage of judges.
The discussion has also covered inactive ministries and the potential of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms (ADR) to reduce court burden and improve public access to justice.
Reunion has also discussed strategies to combat corruption, improve governance and implement legal reforms. The president of the SCBA underlined the need for strict measures against financial crimes to strengthen the economy of Pakistan.
Responding to concerns concerning judicial responsibility, Mian Rauf Ata stressed that the legal system already had a reward and punishment mechanism. He explained that the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) deals with complaints against higher judicial judges while the high lessons concerned oversee the district judges.
