Besides, statistical data of cases, the report also provides detailed information about the sanctioned/working strength and vacant posts of judicial officers as well as administrative staff and annual budgetary allocation for the courts.

Annual Report for the Year 2013

Judicial Statistics of Pakistan, Annual Report 2013

1. Supreme Court of Pakistan The Supreme Court is the final arbiter of law and the Constitution under the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Under the Constitution a unique role has been assigned to the Supreme Court for maintaining harmony and balance among the three pillars of the State, namely, Legislature, Executive and Judiciary to ensure that the state organs perform their respective functions within the stipulated limits and constraints. The Court is also empowered to protect the fundamental rights if it considers that a question of public importance with reference to enforcement of any of the fundamental rights conferred by the Constitution is involved.

1.1 Composition of the Court & Appointment of Judges

The Supreme Court of Pakistan consists of Chief Justice and not more than 16 other Judges. A person with 5 years experience as a Judge of High Court or 15 years experience as an advocate of High Court is eligible to be appointed as a Judge of the Supreme Court. After the 18th amendment in the Constitution the Judges of the Supreme Court are appointed by the President of Pakistan on the recommendation of the Judicial Commission of Pakistan headed by the Hon’ble Chief Justice of Pakistan on the basis of their knowledge and expertise in different fields of law. According to Article 175A(3) of the Constitution the senior most Judge of the Supreme Court is appointed as the Chief Justice of Pakistan. A Judge holds office until attaining the age of 65 years, unless he resigns earlier or is removed from office on the grounds specified by the Constitution, namely, physical or mental incapacity or misconduct to be determined by the Supreme Judicial Council.

1.2 Jurisdiction of the Court

The Supreme Court exercises original, appellate and advisory jurisdiction. It possesses exclusive original jurisdiction for settlement of inter-governmental (federal/provincial) disputes. Under this jurisdiction, the Court pronounces declaratory judgments. The Supreme Court can also exercise original jurisdiction with respect to the enforcement of fundamental rights, if the case involves a question of public importance. In exercise of its advisory jurisdiction the Court furnishes its opinion on a question of law of public importance referred to it by the President of Pakistan for consideration. Under its appellate jurisdiction, the Court entertains appeals against orders and decisions of High Courts and other special tribunals and courts. Under the Constitution, the Court is invested with authority to make its rules of practice and procedure. Under the rules the Chief Justice as the head of the institution nominates Judges for hearing of cases and exercising other administrative powers and functions.

Judicial Statistics of Pakistan, Annual Report 2013

1.3 The Court Administration

The administration of the Court is headed by the Registrar who functions under the overall supervision of the Chief Justice of Pakistan. In the performance of his functions under the judicial rules, the Registrar is aided and assisted by the Additional Registrar, Deputy Registrars, Assistant Registrars and the respective branches on the judicial side. The Secretary to the Chief Justice, Research & Reference Officers, and Librarian, Private Secretaries to the Judges, Court Associates and Assistant Librarian provide services in their respective spheres. The administration and general branches headed by the Deputy Registrars provide to the Registrar spade work in their respective spheres. The Court, with the approval of the President of Pakistan is empowered to make rules providing for appointment of its staff and determining the terms and conditions of their service. Such rules empower the Chief Justice to exercise in respect of officers and servants of the Court the same powers as the President of Pakistan exercises in respect of the Federal Government employees.

The Registry provides administrative services to the Court for carrying out its judicial functions. It prepares the cases for fixing before a bench and assists the Court in case flow management. The Registry provides information and assistance to advocates and the general public on legal procedures and formalities for filing cases and completing the record. It prepares cause lists and intimates fixation of cases to parties, advocates-on-record, advocates and litigants appearing in person.

Federal Shariat Court

Judicial Statistics of Pakistan, Annual Report 2013

2 Federal Shariat Court The preamble to the Constitution explicitly affirms that sovereignty over the entire universe belongs to Almighty Allah alone and the authority to be exercised by the people of Pakistan within the limits prescribed by Him is a sacred trust. Article 2A lays down that the principles and provisions set out in the Objectives Resolution are a substantive part of the Constitution. Article 227 makes it incumbent that all existing laws shall be brought in conformity with the Injunctions of Islam as laid down in the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (Peace Be upon Him). In order to speed up the process of Islamization in the country a Constitutional Amendment was made in 1979 for setting up Shariat Benches in the Provincial High Courts. The judgment/orders of the Shariat Benches were made binding. However, soon after need was felt for the establishment of an independent institution for the purpose. So under Article 203C of Chapter 3A of the Constitution (as substituted by the Constitution (Amendment) Order 1980 (P.O 1 of 1980) an independent Federal Shariat Court was established in Islamabad with its Branch Registries in the four Provincial High Courts.

2.1 Constitution of Court and Appointment of the Judges

Under the Constitution the Federal Shariat Court shall consist of not more than 8 Muslim Judges of them not more than three shall be Ulema (having at least fifteen years experience in Islamic Law, Research or Instruction) including the Chief Justice to be appointed by the President of Pakistan on the recommendations of the Judicial Commission under Article 175A of the Constitution.

2.2 Jurisdiction

Under Article 203D of the Constitution the Federal Shariat Court may, on its own motion or on the petition of the citizen of Pakistan or the Federal or Provincial Government, examine and decide the question whether or not any law or provision of law is repugnant to the Injunctions of Islam as laid down in the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (Peace be Upon Him). Further more, all cases punishable under the Hudood laws by the District & Sessions Judges are appealable before the Federal Shariat Court.

Lahore High Court

Judicial Statistics of Pakistan, Annual Report 2013

3 Lahore High Court, Lahore The History of the High Court at Lahore is spread over the last hundred and fifty years. By 1830, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the famous Sikh ruler of Punjab, consolidated the innumerable small principalities ruled by independent chieftains in the Province. The chieftains used to decide cases according to their own whims and discretions. Certain rules of customs for settlement of civil and criminal disputes through arbitrators governed the field, but they were by no means uniform or reputable. The Sadar Adalat Court (Chief Court) at Lahore was the sole Court in his realm. There were officers dealing with fiscal and military matters, but none specifically to dispense civil or criminal justice. After the annexation of the Punjab by the Britishers a Board of Administration was created in 1849 consisting of three Members. The Board had powers of a Sadar (Chief) Court of Judicature and a Sadar Board of Revenue. In 1853 the Board of Administration was replaced with a Chief Commissioner, and two Principal Commissioners separately appointed for Judicial and Administrative work. The Judicial Commissioner was the Chief Judge of appeal and his Court was the final appellate Court. By the Punjab Courts Act, XIX of 1865, inter alia, seven classes of Courts were brought into being in the Civil Jurisdiction starting from the Court of Tehsildar at the bottom to the Court of the Judicial Commissioner at the top.

In 1866 the Chief Court of the Punjab was constituted under the Chief Court Act, IV of 1866 which was the ultimate Court of Appeal from the Civil and Criminal Courts in the province. The Chief Court was also vested with Extraordinary Original Civil Jurisdiction and Supervisory Jurisdiction over Subordinate Courts. In 1877, the Punjab Courts Act, (XIX of 1865) and the Chief Court Act (IV of 1866), were repealed by the Punjab Courts Act, (XVII of 1877), which consolidated and re-stated the law inter alia relating to the Chief Court.

After the Partition, the Governor General of Pakistan fixed the strength of the Lahore High Court to six permanent Judges and one Additional Judge with effect from 28th September, 1948. During May, 1979 as a first step towards the separation of the Judiciary from the Executive and in order to fulfill the Constitutional requirement of Article 175 (3) of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Government of the Punjab placed the services of 41 Extra Assistant Commissioners under the control of the High Court. On 1st January, 1981, permanent benches of the Lahore High Court were established with immediate effect at Bahawalpur, Multan and Rawalpindi.

3.1 Composition of the Court and appointment of Judges

The Chief Justice and Judges of the High Courts are appointed by the president of Pakistan on the recommendations of the Judicial Commission under Article 175 (A) of the Constitution. A person having not less than ten years experience as an Advocate of High Court or who is or has served as a member of a civil service prescribed by law for the purpose and has also served for a period of not less than three years as a District Judge or who has for a period of not less than ten years experience as a Judicial Officer in Pakistan, is eligible to be appointed as a Judge of a High Court. A Judge of a High Court holds office until attaining the age of 62 years unless he resigns or is removed from office on grounds specified in the Constitution, namely physical or mental incapability or misconduct to be determined by the Supreme Judicial Council. The total strength of Judges of the Lahore High Court including the Chief Justice is 60. 3.2 Jurisdiction

Under the Constitution, a High Court, besides appellate jurisdiction against the judgments, decisions, decrees and sentences passed by the civil and criminal courts, has original jurisdiction to issue writs of Habeas Corpus, Mandamus, Prohibition, Certiorari and Quo Warranto.

High Court of Sindh

Judicial Statistics of Pakistan, Annual Report 2013 4 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.

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 and the Court of the Judicial Commissioner of Sindh became on that day the Chief Court of Sindh.

In 1907, the Court consisted of a Judicial Commissioner, and three Additional Judicial Commissioners. However, in 1935, the number of Additional Judicial Commissioners was increased. In 1937 the Judicial Commissioners, by the Order in Council were designated as the Judges.

4.1 Composition of the Court and appointment of Judges

The total sanctioned strength of judges of the High Court of Sindh including the Chief Justice is 40. They are appointed by the President of Pakistan in accordance with Article 175-A of the Constitution. The Principal seat of the High Court is at Karachi with a Bench at Sukkur and Circuit Courts at Hyderabad and Larkana.

4.2 Original Pecuniary Jurisdiction of the Court

The Pecuniary Jurisdiction of district courts all over the Country is without limit except the district courts Karachi where the pecuniary jurisdiction was originally 25000 rupees. The jurisdiction beyond the said limit was exercised by the High Court of Sindh. The limit of pecuniary jurisdiction of district courts in

This limit was enhanced upto 15 million rupees vide the Sindh Civil Courts (Amendment) Act, 2010, which is vide High Court of Sindh notification No. Gaz/XVI.A.12/(ii) dated: 02-04-2011 applicable since 17-02-2011.

Peshawar High Court

Judicial Statistics of Pakistan, Annual Report 2013

5 Peshawar High Court Consequent upon the dissolution of One Unit, which created four provinces and a High Court for each of these provinces, the President issued a separate Order for the establishment of High Courts; according to which the High Court for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had to be called the Peshawar High Court, with its principal seat at Peshawar. Legal history evinces that the law of civil courts has separately been evolved since 1884 the year in which the Punjab Courts Act was enacted.

During the last days of the 19th century, Lord Curzon (1899-1905), the then Viceroy of India, proposed, primarily for administrative purposes, the creation of North West Frontier Province which got the approval of Lord George F. Hamilton, the then His Majesty’s Secretary of State for India, on 20th December 1900. The province having formally founded on 9th November, 1901, (the King’s birth day) had to get one Judicial Commissioner. The N.W.F.P. Law and Justice Regulation No. VII of 1901 was enacted by the Governor-General-in-Council in order to establish judicial institutions.

In 1931 further steps were taken to consolidate and amend the law relating to courts in the province. In this respect the N.-W.F.P. Regulation No. 1 of 1931 was promulgated.

The Establishment of West Pakistan Act, 1955, which created the province of West Pakistan, comprised, inter alia, the N.W.F.P. Soon after the enactment of the said law, a separate High Court for the province of West Pakistan was created under the High Court of West Pakistan (Establishment) Order, 1955, Lahore as its principal seat and benches at Karachi and Peshawar. This repealed the former Lahore High Court, the Chief Court of Sindh and the Judicial Commissioner Court in the N.-W.F.P. and Baluchistan and any other Court functioning as High Court for any other specified territories. 5.1 Composition of the Court and appointment of Judges

The total sanctioned strength of judges of the Peshawar High Court including the Chief Justice is 20 Judges. They are appointed by the President of Pakistan in accordance with Article 175-A of the Constitution. The Principal seat of the Court is at Peshawar and its benches at Abbottabad, Dera Ismail Khan, Mingora and Bannu.

Islamabad High Court

Judicial Statistics of Pakistan, Annual Report 2013

7 Islamabad High Court Located in Potohar Plateau, the region has historically been a part of the cross roads of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with Margalla pass acting as a gateway between the two regions. The city was built during 1960 to replace Karachi as Pakistan’s Capital. Historically the territory is regarded to be one of the earliest sites of human civilization in Asia. Many great armies such as those of Alexander the great, Chenghaiz Khan, Taimur and Ahmad Shah Durani used this corridor through Islamabad on their way to invade the subcontinent.

In 1958, a Commission was constituted to select a suitable site for the National Capital with particular emphasis on location, climate, logistics and defence requirements along with other attributes. After extensive study, research and thorough review of potential sites, the Commission recommended the area North East of Rawalpindi. A Greek firm of Architects, Konstantino Apostolos Doxiadies designed the Master Plan of the city.

The Federal Government was shifted from Karachi to Rawalpindi under President’s Order No.20 of 1960, which was deemed to have taken effect on the 20th October, 1959 whereby it was stipulated that the Capital of the Republic shall be Islamabad situated in the District of Rawalpindi in the Province of West Pakistan at the site to be selected and the area to be determined by the Central Legislature. It was also provided that until provision was made for establishing the Central Government at Islamabad, the principal seat of the Government shall be at Rawalpindi. Under the Capital of the Republic (Determination of Area) Ordinance, 1963 as required by clause (2) of Article 211 of the Constitution 1962, the area of Islamabad Capital Territory was determined.

By virtue of President’s Order No.1 of 1970, the Province of West Pakistan was dissolved and in its place the four provinces Balochistan, the North-West Frontier Province/Khyber Pakhtunkawa, the Punjab and Sindh were constituted besides two centrally administered areas, namely, the Islamabad Capital Territory and FATA. In clause (2) of Article 14 of this Order the Islamabad Capital Territory was placed within the jurisdiction of the High Court of Punjab. Even President’s Order No.8 of 1970 (High Courts Establishment Order 1970) established a High Court for the Province of the Punjab and the Islamabad Capital Territory to be called the Lahore High Court Lahore with its principal seat at Lahore.

Article 1(2)(b) of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973 declared status of Islamabad Capital Territory as of a distinct territory not forming part of any province. Article 175 of the Constitution provided that there shall be a Supreme Court of Pakistan, a High Court for each province

Islamabad High Court Page 180

Judicial Statistics of Pakistan, Annual Report 2013 and such other courts as may be established by law. Although Islamabad Capital Territory had not been part of any province of Pakistan yet no independent High Court was established to cater for the litigation pertaining to its area, rather the previous arrangement as made vide Article 3(b) of President’s Order No.8 of 1970 (High Courts Establishment Order 1970) continued. Article 192(4) of the Constitution had provided about extension of jurisdiction of any High Court to any area in Pakistan not forming part of the Province and in this way the Islamabad Capital Territory remained under jurisdiction of Lahore High Court, Lahore.

By virtue of P.O. No.18 of 1980 followed by S.R.No.1316 (1)/80 dated 31.12.1980, the Islamabad Capital Territory attained provincial status for the purpose of its governance on administrative side but it remained without its own High Court. As a result of the Islamabad High Court (Establishment) Order 2007, a High Court for Islamabad Capital Territory was established but its cessation took place as a result of the verdict of August Supreme Court of Pakistan reported as PLD 2009 SC 879. Thereafter, the Islamabad High Court was established through Islamabad High Court Act 2010 (Act No. XVII of 2010) for Islamabad Capital Territory having original, appellate, provisional and other jurisdictions, as under the Constitution or other laws and also brought all Civil, Criminal, Revenue, Special Courts & all Tribunals which were exercising jurisdiction and functions in the Islamabad Capital Territory immediately before the commencement of the Act under the superintendence and control of the Lahore High Court, Lahore, under the supervision and control of the Islamabad High Court.

7.1 Composition of the Court and appointment of Judges

The total sanctioned strength of judges of the Islamabad High Court including the Chief Justice is 7 Judges. They are appointed by the President of Pakistan in accordance with Article 175-A of the Constitution.

7.2 Original Pecuniary Jurisdiction of the Court Under section 4 of the Islamabad High Court Act, 2010 the Pecuniary Jurisdiction of Islamabad High Court in respect of Islamabad Capital Territory was originally Rs. 10 million and any suit or proceeding having pecuniary value of 10 million rupees or more could be filed in the Islamabad High Court. However, this limit has been further enhanced since January, 2012 to Rs. 100 million vide the Islamabad High Court (Amendment) Act, 2011 (Act No. II of 2012).
