Annual reporting also ensures that a significant amount of information, otherwise unavailable, is placed on the public record. Nevertheless, the reporting obligation has generated disquiet from time to time, s ome seeing in it the potential to detract from judicial independence. This report presents a comprehensive overview of progress and achievements made by this Court during the year 2012. It also gives a brief account of the history and evolution of the Cour t. An honest, efficient and independent judiciary is the best safeguard against injustice in society. The real test of judicial system is its effect on individual’s lives. Judicial system besides being accessible, fair and effective should respond to the needs of society. The District courts are the courts, who are directly responsible to give justice and relief to the masses [1] who always look up towards it with the hope for a positive, pro-active and an impartial response. It is absolutely imperative to ensure that the Judicial Officers/Judges do not falter in delivering justice to the hopeless, wretched and vulnerable litigant public. First preference of the High Court was courts of original jurisdiction where people approach first of all for redressal of their disputes. Environment, workplace and infrastructure of these courts will be improved even slashing budget of High Court so that district courts judges could decide cases with peace of mind. Development work in the judicial sector has far reaching impact on the performance of district judiciary with this objectives and providing congenial working conditions to the District Judiciary, so that the efficiency and standard of their work remains unhampered by the recurrent schedule of electricity load-shedding. A scheme estimated @ Rs. 23 Million was approved for purchase of generators for all the Sessions and Civil Courts of Punjab a gigantic project of judiciary, the scheme comprising total of 140 diesel generators sets the scheme divide into two phase, phase-I of the scheme was completed and 108 generators sets are fully installed in the districts courts all over the Punjab, Phase –II is under process and would immensely facilitate the logistic proble ms of the District Judiciary. [2] In my regular meetings with my brethren Judges and members of the District judiciary, I always stressed that resolving grievances of the aggrieved people is a great virtue and asked the judges to deliver comprehensive judgments without fear or favor so tha t these could not be challengeable at higher forum. Dignity and credibility of courts will be enhanced with help of such judgments and this was the hallmark of the judiciary. In order to clear the backlog of old cases on a priority I have directed all the District & Sessions Judges and Senior Civil Judges use red color files for oldest cases pending in each court. These red color files should be distinguishable from other category of cases and should be given preference for disposal over all other cases. All the courts seized of the oldest category cases had been directed to decide the cases by taking these on fast track, holding hearing on a day-to-day basis. Green Benches have been constituted in pursuance of the recommendations of the Bhurban Declaratio n 2012--A Common Vision on Environment for the South Asian Judiciaries during South Asian Conference on Environmental Justice, under the aegis of the Supreme Court of Pakistan. I have declared all the courts of District and Session judges, Senior Civil Ju dges and all the courts of Civil Judges Cum Judicial Magistrates at sub-division level as green courts so as to hear all [3] the cases under the Pakistan environmental protection act 1997 as well as under ordinary jurisdiction involving the issues of environment or relating to environment interest litigation. I have also directed them to transfer all the environmental related cases to the Green Benches of the Lahore High Court and Green Courts at district and Tehsil level from the courts where they are pending at the moment for further proceedings.

  • APPOINTMENT and CONDITIONS of SERVICE) REGULATIONS, 2016 AIM: to Enforce the MDA (Appointment and Conditions of Service) Regulations 2016
    DIRECTORATE OF FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION ADMIN BRANCH AGENDA NO. 01 MDA (APPOINTMENT AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE) REGULATIONS, 2016 AIM: To enforce the MDA (Appointment and Conditions of Service) Regulations 2016. DETAILS/ EXISTING ARRANGEMENTS: 2. MDA (Appointments and Conditions of Service) Regulations, 1980 has remained enforced and are still under implementation since 1980. Over the period of 36 years, 68 meetings of Governing Body have been held and time to time various amendments have been made in the said Regulations and its schedule. If seen critically, the current schedule of Regulations is full of amendments, tailored promotion channels and abolished posts which were otherwise necessary for smooth functioning of MDA. 3. Across the board, it has been observed that promotion criteria for various posts have been shifted from seniority-cum-fitness basis to mandatory trainings and departmental training examination. Recently the instructions of Government of the Punjab for ensuring merit based promotions basing on mandatory training/promotion exam has been received, which is also being placed for adoption by MDA. The same has also been proposed for almost all the posts whether technical or general cadre so that merit based promotions may be ensured. 4. The regulations include two parts namely appointment and the condition of service for MDA employees and its Schedule. Extensive efforts have been put in for making this schedule practicable. An effort has been made that no post may remain stagnant and mostly post has been given promotion prospects. The same did not exist in the current Schedule. There were many discrepancies as already mentioned above which have also been rectified.

  • The Pakistani Lawyers' Movement and the Popular
    NOTES THE PAKISTANI LAWYERS’ MOVEMENT AND THE POPULAR CURRENCY OF JUDICIAL POWER “I support the lawyers,” said the Pakistani farmer on the train from Lahore, “because if Musharraf can do whatever he wants to this man, the Chief Justice of Pakistan, then none of us is safe.”1 It was the summer of 2008, and for several months Pakistani lawyers had been leading protests seeking the restoration to office of sixty-plus superior court judges,2 including Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, who had been suspended by President Pervez Musharraf.3 The farm- er’s response to questions about his thoughts on the protests was typi- cal of Pakistanis at the time in its clear-headed articulation of the symbolic importance of the lawyers’ struggle and in its implicit under- standing of the central function of an independent judiciary. Indeed, the Chief Justice was the closest to a personal embodiment of “the law” that one could find in Pakistan. If even he served at the pleasure of a dictator — so the story went —the capacity of the law to constrain this dictator and protect ordinary Pakistanis was perilously weak. In March 2007, Chaudhry refused the urging of five generals to re- sign and was removed by Musharraf. Two years later, with Musharraf in exile and a civilian government in power, nationwide protests re- turned Chaudhry to his position atop the nation’s highest court.4 Af- ter twenty-four months of struggle, the lawyers’ movement thus ended with an improbable victory. Moreover, in a nation where the courts historically have followed the dictates of the military and allowed for the repeated subversion of the country’s constitutions,5 the restoration ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 1 Interview with Pakistani farmer, on train from Lahore, Pak.

  • A Historic Journey of the Lahore City, to Attain Its Identity Through Architecture
    ISSN 2411-958X (Print) European Journal of May-August 2017 ISSN 2411-4138 (Online) Interdisciplinary Studies Volume 3, Issue 3 A Historic Journey of the Lahore City, to Attain Its Identity through Architecture Najma Kabir Associate Professor, Department of Architecture, University of South Asia, Lahore, Pakistan Ghulam Abbas Prof. Department of Architecture and Planning, University of Engineering & Technology Lahore, Pakistan Khizar Hayat Director Design, Central Design Office (WATER) Water and Power Development Authority, Lahore, Pakistan Abstract Lahore is a historical and the second largest city of Pakistan. It has a unique geographical location as it is located on the main trade and invasion routes to South Asia. Its history dates back to 1000BC, when its foundations were laid by the Hindu prince Loh, son of Rama Chandra. After the invasion of Mahmud of Ghazni in 1000AD, the city of Lahore has grown, flourished, suffered invasions and destruction, and yet survived through the Sultanate (1206-1524), the Mughal (1524-1712) and Sikh (1764-1849) periods with an uneven, yet unbroken, cultural evolution. This is evident in the form of monuments and artefacts that developed and evolved over time. The research paper discusses how architecture and contemporary arts in Lahore developed with time through the examples of representative buildings as case studies. It also discusses the impacts of cultural, religious and social factors on the art and architecture during different rules and how they are embodied in the city of Lahore to contribute towards its unique identity. The Mughals, who ruled for almost three centuries, were famous as great builders. They laid the infrastructure of Lahore and built finest architectural monuments.
