iv 1 FOREWORD

(In the name of Allah, Most Beneﬁcent, Most Merciful)

It is a matter of great pleasure for me that the Annual Report of High Court of Sindh and subordinate Judiciary for the year 2003 is being published. In fact it is the revival of the practice, which was discontinued a long ago for no obvious reasons. This report contains, the performance of High Court of Sindh, Principal Seat at Karachi, Circuit Bench at Sukkur and Circuit Courts at Hyderabad and Larkana as well as the performance of the sub-ordinate Judiciary, which is clearly reflected from the forms/proformas of different kinds and nature. Besides the figure of cases as to pendency, institution and disposal during the year 2003, this report also contains history of High Court of Sindh as well as brief introduction of High Court at present. During the year 2003, 52729 cases were instituted in this Court while 51724 Cases were disposed of. The sub-ordinate judiciary disposed of 142,750 during the year 2003, as against the institution of 144523 Cases. Efforts to clear the backlog and expedite the disposal of the cases remained the first priority of this Court. Training of the Judicial Officers under the Access to Justice Program resulted in formulation and putting into action different strategies which not only brought over-all improvement in the system but also helped in clearing of the back log and expeditious disposal of the cases. Priority was given to the cases involving terrorism and heinous offences, family cases, cases of orphans, women, and widows. We have to strive further to formulate newer and more imaginative strategies and take appropriate measures for coping with the ever-increasing flow of litigation, clearance of backlog and expeditious disposal of normal cases. For achieving the above objectives, Sindh Judicial Academy has been revitalized. It now undertakes on regular basis training of newly inducted judicial officers as well as in service training of Senior Civil Judges and Additional District & Sessions Judges. It also arranges lectures, seminars and meetings in which senior lawyers and Judges of the Superior Judiciary are invited to deliver lectures on important topics of law, administration of justice, rules of law as well as procedural matters. For providing easy access to the litigants to obtain information relating to their cases, promotion of justice and avoiding unnecessary hurdles and difficulties faced by the litigant public, citizen court liaison counters have been set up. An Hon’ble Judge of this court has been nominated to deal with the problems and difficulties of the members of the Bar as and when brought to his knowledge by the office bearers of the Bar Association. Under the Access to Justice Program (AJP) construction of new court complexes and residences, renovation, repairs and improvement of the existing building is going on at a rapid pace. At present construction of new court complexes is in progress in fifteen cities, while in another 55 cities the construction work will start soon. Few of the court complexes are likely to be completed in near future. After completion of construction and commission of new court complexes, Judicial Officers will get proper working conditions and atmosphere which is necessary for efficient and smooth

High Court of Sindh Annual Report 2003: 1 performance of the onerous judicial work. This in itself will lead to extra efficiency and higher disposal of cases. During entire the year, as the Chief Justice High Court of Sindh, I endeavored to improve the performance of High court and sub-ordinate Courts. It was not a lone effort. Indeed I am lucky to have a team of competent, dedicated and hard working Judges and officials. I received full support from my brother Judges in running the affairs of the Court and from the learned members of the Bar in expeditious disposal of the cases. Cooperation from the brother Judges, Bar, Subordinate Judiciary and officials of the High Court of Sindh, is absolutely essential for removal of backlog, expeditious disposal and fighting against corruption. I got full support from all of them in overcoming aforestated problems. In the end, I hope that in the days to come all of them will continue to perform their respective functions and duties with zeal, commitment, diligence, honesty and dedication enabling me to face the challenges of the future.

Saiyed Saeed Ashhad, Chief Justice, High Court of Sindh

2 High Court of Sindh Annual Report 2003 2INTRODUCTION

2.1 History of the High Court of Sindh A Sadar Court for the province of Sindh was established by Bombay Act (XII of 1866). This Sadar Court was the highest Court of appeal for Sindh in civil and criminal matters and was presided over by a judge called the “Judicial Commissioner of Sindh.” In 1906, the Bombay Act (XII of 1866) was amended by the Sindh Courts Amending Act (Bom. I of 1906) and the Sadar Court was converted into the Court of the Judicial Commissioner of Sindh consisting of three or more Judges. Apart from being the highest Court of Appeal for Sindh in civil and criminal matters, the Court was the District Court and the Court of Session in Karachi. On 21st August, 1926 the Sindh Courts Act (Bom. VII of 1926) was passed providing for the establishment of a Chief Court for the Province of Sindh. On the coming into operation of Part III of the Government of India Act, 1935, on 1st April, 1937, Sindh became a separate Province and the Judges of the Court of Judicial Commissioner of Sindh were appointed by Royal Warrant by the British Government. The construction of the existing main building commenced in 1923, at an estimated cost of Rs. 39,75,248 but it was completed on 22-11-1929, at the actual cost of Rs. 30,35,000. This building which was meant for 5 Judges, but with some provision for expansion in 1929, it now accommodates Court Rooms of 24 Benches and Judges in Chambers. In 1907, the Court consisted of a Judicial Commissioner, and three Additional Judicial Com- missioners, however, in 1935 the number of Additional Judicial Commissioners was increased from 3 to 4. In that year the following were the Judges of the Court:

• Judicial Commissioners of Sindh

1. V.M. Forrers, Esq., I.C.S. (Retired, May 1935). 2. Godfrey Davis, Esq., I.C.S. (From June, 1935) • Additional Judicial Commissioners of Sindh

1. Rupchand Bilaram, Esq., B.A., LL.B. 2. Dadiva C. Metha, Esq., M.A., LL.B. 3. M.A. Havelivala, Esq., Bar-at-Law. 4. Charles M. Lobo, Esq., B.A., LL.B. (Oﬃciating).

In 1937, the Judicial Commissioners, by the Order in Council, were designated as the Judges. Significantly, for the first time in 1938, a Muslim namely, Mr. Hatim B. Tayabji, Bar-at-Law was appointed as the Acting Judge of the Court. As the Sindh Courts Act, 1926 followed closely the lines of the Letters Patent of the Bombay High Court, it was felt that the immediate need of the Province could be satisfied by bringing that Act into operation thereby raising the status of the Court to that of the Chief Court of Sindh. Ultimately, the Government of India Act, 1935, was suitably amended by Parliament and on 15th April, 1940 the Sindh Courts Act, 1926, was brought into operation whereby the Court of the Judicial Commissioner of Sindh became on that day the Chief Court of Sindh. On the passing of the Establishment of West Pakistan Act, 1955, on 3-10-1955, besides the territories of the three other Provinces, the territories of the Province were integrated into the Province of West Pakistan and a High Court for the Province of West Pakistan replaced the Chief Court of Sindh, other High Courts, and Judicial Commissioner’s Court of North-West Frontier

High Court of Sindh Annual Report 2003: 3 Province. However, for the Provinces of Sindh and Balochistan, one High Court with its Principal Seat at Karachi was established. Ultimately, in the year 1976, by the President’s Order 6 of 1976, the High Courts of Sindh and Balochistan were separated and two separate High Courts for the two Provinces were established. In 1947, Mr. Hatim B. Tayabji became the Chief Judge of Sindh Chief Court when the Court consisted of the following Judges:

1. The Hon’ble Mr. Dennis Nail O’Sullivan, Bar-at-Law. 2. The Hon’ble Mr. T. V. Thadani, Bar-at-Law. 3. The Hon’ble Mr. George Baxandell Constantine, B.A.(Oxon), I.C.S., Bar-at-Law. 4. The Hon’ble Mr. Hassanali G. Agha, B.A. LL.B. 5. The Hon’ble Mr. Maneksha Rustomji Mehar, I.C.S. (Oﬃciating).

At the time of establishment of the High Court of West Pakistan the number of the Judges of the Karachi Bench was almost the same but subsequently it was increased to 15 and on separation of Sindh and Balochistan High Courts, 12 Judges were allocated to the Sindh High Court and 3 Judges to Balochistan High Court. The present approved strength of Judges is 28. However, the number of Judges appointed is 27.

2.2 The High Court of Sindh at Present The High Court of Sindh consists of a Chief Justice and 27 other Judges. A Judge of the High Court is appointed by the President after consultation with the Chief Justice of Pakistan, the Governor of the Province and the Chief Justice of the High Court in which appointment is to be made. No person is appointed as a Judge of the High Court unless he is a citizen of Pakistan having attained the age of forty years and who has been an advocate of the High Court or has held a judicial office for ten years, and has for a period of not less than three years served as or exercised the functions of a District Judge in Pakistan. A Judge of a High Court holds office until he attains the age of sixty-two years, unless he sooner resigns or is removed from office in accordance with the Constitution.

2.3 The Principal Seat of the High Court and Court Buildings The principal Seat of the High Court of Sindh is at Karachi with a Bench at Sukkur, and Circuit Courts at Hyderabad and Larkana. In 1974, An Annexe Building on the North-West side of the compound (known as the Old An- nexe) of the High Court was constructed at a cost of Rs. 4.4 million, but it did not ease the situation much, for it is accommodating the offices of this Court and also provides office accommodation to Standing Counsel, Official Assignee, Registry of the Federal Shariat Court, Sindh Bar Council, and Member Inspection Team as well as to Offices of the Advocate General, Additional Advocate General, and Assistant Advocate Generals of Sindh. In 1992, another Annexe building (known as the New Annexe) was constructed on the South- East Side, in the compound of the High Court premises. This building accommodates Court Rooms for the Benches and Chambers for the Judges. Besides, the offices of Additional Registrars (O.S. I) and (O.S. II), the Judicial branches of D-I, D-II, Execution and Development are also situated in this building.

The “Ratio of Pending Cases to Disposal” shows how long the Court will take, at the current rate of disposal, to dispose of the balance of cases pending at the end of the year. A result of 100 means one year, 50 means six months and so on. The ratio is easily calculated from the data provided in the table. The calculation is as follows: P ending balance for the year × 100 Cases disposed of during the year

Accordingly, at the Principal Seat, it will take the Court an additional two years and four months to dispose of the pending balance. The ratio, wherever mentioned in this report, has been worked out accordingly.

112 High Court of Sindh Annual Report 2003 8 HIGH COURT OF SINDH LIBRARY

8.1 Library Branch of High Court of Sindh The Library of Sindh High Court is one of the modern law libraries of the country. The Library is fully automated. It has been well equipped to deal with the requirements of the Honourable Judges and oﬃcers of the court. The Library has a collection of about 42,266 volumes of law books both International and National, Law Journals/Reports, Gazette of Pakistan, containing Acts and Ordinances, Governor General’s Orders from 1947-1956, President’s orders 1956 to date, latest edition of Pakistan Code, Sindh Government Gazette containing Acts and Ordinances, Encyclopedias and others general books. The Library subscribes to 60 Law Journals/Reports from diﬀerent parts of country and the world. Most of the collection has been built up by purchase. The Honourable Senior Puisne Judge is in-charge of the Library.

8.2 Library Services The Library is primarily meant for the use of the Honourable Judges and Oﬃcers of the court. The Library provides bibliographical and reference service to the Honourable Judges as well as Oﬃcers of the court. List of new books is circulated among the Honourable Judges and is also displayed on the notice board of the Library. Information handling has essentially three aspects: collection, storing and retrieval. As the quantum of knowledge grows, the number of information records also correspondingly increases. Handling of this vast magnitude of information with conventional manual methods, naturally, has proved problematic. In modern times, information scientists have embarked upon the development of a new information technology. Today, all around the world, computers are being used in library housekeeping functions like acquisition, cataloguing, circulation control, serials control, information storage, retrieval and dissemination. For the purpose of introducing automation in the library, the computer based retrieval system named Library Management System (LMS) was started in 2001 and it is properly working till today. Presently library has one PC with one terminal and a printer being used for storage and retrieval of data. Now a book can be located in the computer by author, title and subjects.

9 HIGH COURT OF SINDH AUTOMATION PLAN

The High Court of Sindh is pursuing vigorously a detailed automation plan for the High Court as well as for the Subordinate Judiciary. The plan essentially deals with hardware and software requirements for implementing and attaining case law management, a case-flow system, as well as an information system to cater to the needs of the Judges and Judicial officers. The plan was initiated during the period of Chief Justice Mr. Justice Nasir Aslam Zahid, however progress was made only after the appointment of a System Analyst in 1997. It was then that a Compute Branch was established in the Court. At that time there was only one un-branded old computer (486DX) available in the Court in the MIT branch. A clerk of the Court had been deputed to work as operator on the computer. The then Member Inspection Team guided the System Analyst about the working of the Court for the purpose of developing software applications such as disposal/pendency system of the Subordinate Judiciary and leave system for the staff of the

High Court of Sindh Annual Report 2003: 113 Courts. Mr. Justice (Retd.) Amanullah Abbasi supervised the overall process of computerization. In coordination with Mr. Justice S. Ahmed Sarwana, 33 IBM computers were purchased in 1999. The then Registrar, Mr. Justice Wahid Bux Brohi, also guided the System Analyst in understanding the working of this Court and in developing software programs. The System Analyst continued to work with two clerks for about two and a half years. The rest of computer staff was appointed in 2000. The Computer Department, today, includes one System Analyst, two Programmers, two Data Processing Officers, one Assistant and one Data-Coder. After the retirement of Mr. Justice Amanullah Abbasi, the automation plan is being supervised by Mr. Justice S. Ahmed Sarwana with most Judges contributing to the process for the benefit of the Judiciary and the general public. As a result, 9 Dell were purchased in 2000, while 15 un-branded computers and 20 local branded computers (J-Pet) were purchased in 2001 along with facilities for net working. The computerization of Judges Library of the Court has been undertaken because of the special attention and guidance of the Superior Puisne Judge Mr. Justice Sabihuddin Ahmed. The donation of 5 computers from Sir Syed University is because of the efforts of Mr. Justice Sarmad Jalal Osmany. Mr. Justice Zahid Qurban Alavi, Mr. Justice Wahid Bux Brohi and Mr. Justice Mushir Alam have also been guiding the system analyst. In addition to this, 14 computers were donated by the Asia Foundation to the Court. The District Pilot Courts project is due to the efforts of Mr. Justice Muhammad Sadiq Laghari, the present Registrar of the Court, Mr. Abdul Ghafoor Memon, as well as Mr. Z.A.K. Sherwanni, present D.J. Karachi Central. The foundation of computerization has been successfully laid in this court. A fully functioning Computer Branch has been established. Presently, this court has 175 computers including one Server Computer. Networking of 128 nodes has been installed in various branches of this Court. The staff of Computer Branch has developed certain number of software applications. Year-wise Plan of Computerization has been made, followed and revised from time to time. A Computerization Committee has been constituted by the Hon’ble Chief Justice comprising Mr. Justice S. Ahmed Sarwana, Mr. Justice Wahid Bux Brohi and Mr. Justice Mushir Alam. The following pages provide the summary of computer, printer, scanner, stabilizer and UPS available in High Court of Sindh, Karachi and Circuit court Hyderabad, Larkana and Sukkur.

124 High Court of Sindh Annual Report 2003 SINDH JUDICIAL ACADEMY ANNUAL REPORT

High Court of Sindh Annual Report 2003: 125 THIS PAGE BLANK

126 High Court of Sindh Annual Report 2003 10 SINDH JUDICIAL ACADEMY: ANNUAL REPORT

The Sindh Judicial Academy was setup in May 1992 under a resolution of the High Court. However, later in 1993 an Ordinance was promulgated to provide legal cover for its working and functions and in 1994 the Ordinance was replaced by an Act of the Sindh Assembly. During a period of 10 years from 22nd May, 1992 upto 30th June, 2002, the Academy has imparted training to judicial officers, advocates, police officers, naval officers etc. as under:—

Police Oﬃcers (in April, 1999) All ASPs, DSPs and SHOs of Karachi Naval Oﬃcers 13 Advocates (from 20.9.1999 to 22.12.99) 50 A,D.Js 77 Sr. Civil Judges 241 Judicial Magistrates 243

During the ﬁnancial year July 2002 to June 2003, the Academy has imparted training to 38 oﬃcers, as per the following details:–

1. Additional District & Sessions Judges 37 2. Senior Civil Judges NIL 3. Civil Judges NIL 4. Judicial Magistrates NIL 5. Naval Oﬃcers 01 Total 38

While participating in the training/refresher programs as facilitator I had observed that the judicial oﬃcers commit grammatical and spelling mistakes. This weakness has also been noticed by the Superior Courts. In order to remove such weaknesses, attempt is being made to give them more lectures on English Language and also to guide them as to how they should improve the quality of their judgments and orders. This is being done through the services of former judges of Superior Courts and very senior Advocates as well as senior Faculty members of English Department. It is, therefore, necessary, that repeated in-service training be given to such oﬃcers during which they are required to write a number of judgments, frame charges or issues and to appraise evidence. The Academy has been performing through its Director-General, the following functions:—

a) The Director-General has been recording opinions on legal matters referred to him by the Chief Justice. b) The Director-General also examines the bail orders and orders u/ss 249-A and 265-K, Cr.P.C. recorded by all judicial officers upto the rank of Additional Sessions Judges and submit comments thereon to the Chief Justice, whereafter the said comments, if adverse, are not only communicated to the officers concerned, but also recorded in their personal file. This is a very laborious and time-consuming task.

It also appears desirable that the Director-General should oﬀ and on visit District Head Quarters to meet the Sessions Judges and the Judicial Oﬃcers who have received training at the Academy, to discuss legal problems with them and to advise them in such matters.

High Court of Sindh Annual Report 2003: 127 10.1 Financial Position of the Academy Due to strict economical measures taken by the then Director Generals the Academy on 1.7.2003 had a balance of Rs. 3, 221,803.00. During the ﬁnancial year 2003-04 we will get the grant of rupees 30 lacs from the Sindh Gov- ernment in two installments. The sanction orders of rupees 15 lacs from the Finance and Law departments, Government of Sindh have been sent to the Accountant General Sindh for further process. The main items of expenditure are:—

a) Salary and Allowances of Director General b) Salary of Director and members of the staﬀ

c) Honoraria paid to professors d) Purchase of books for library

e) Purchase of books granted to trainees

f) Transport for trainees to attend Academy

g) Seminar to be held by the Academy h) Entertainment to the participants

It has been possible for the Academy to be equipped with an excellent library containing encyclopedias, upto date copies of PLD, SCMR, P. Cr. L. J., All England Reports, Corpus Juris Secundum, Halsbury’s Laws of England, reported Judgments of the Supreme Court of U.S.A., 72 volumes edition of words and Phrases and also upto date editions of digests, etc. due to the gen- erous assistance which the Academy has been receiving from the High Court in the shape of free accommodation, as also services of a stenographer and a chowkidar, who has been trained to work as daftari. The Academy, during the past couple of years has been earmarking a substantial sum for holding a seminar but due to unavoidable circumstances it could not be held. However, the seminar is likely to be held this year. It would not be out of place to mention that the Campus/Hostel of the Academy was shifted in High Court Judges Bungalow Nos. 1 and 2 situated at Ferozenana Road, Bath Island, Clifton, Karachi. For this purpose essential items of furniture, crockery and electronic items worth Rs. 5,85,067.00 were purchased. The following posts were also created and recruitments have already been made.

1. Director (BPS 19)

2. Hostel Supervisor (BPS 11)

3. Cook (BPS 5)

4. Messenger (BPS 1)

5.NaibQasid(BPS1)

6.NaibQasid(BPS1)

128 High Court of Sindh Annual Report 2003 7. Gardener (BPS 1)

8. Chowkidar (BPS 1)

9. Sweeper (BPS 1)

In view of the above classes are held in the new campus and hostel facilities are also provided to the Judicial Officers who are nominated from the interior of Sindh. For the current financial year, the Academy has been granted by the Sindh Government, a sum of Rs. 30 lacs. With this additional grant, we expect to improve our working, have more frequent in-service training courses, provide basic upto date books to the subordinate judicial officers, publish research monographs/books relating to law and also to arrange publication of quarterly law journal, further improve our library and perform other functions which are indicated in the Sindh Judicial Academy Act, 1994. If the Board approves the suggestion contained in this respect then the Director General will undertake the exercise.
