After the approval of President Asif Ali Zardari, a notification has been issued to appoint Justice Yahya Afridi as the Chief Justice of Pakistan and he will take oath in a ceremony organized in the President's House on Saturday. A farewell reference is being held today on Friday, October 25 at 10:30 in honor of the retired Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa. While the senior judge of the Supreme Court Justice Mansoor Ali Shah left for Umrah on Thursday. As far as the approval of the 26th constitutional amendment and the nomination and appointment of the new Chief Justice is concerned, the Sindh Assembly passed a resolution in favor of the 26th constitutional amendment in its session on Wednesday. A number of statements coming from the legal community also highlight the impression of welcome in this chapter. Among the conditions in which the new Chief Justice has to work, there are many complications, including the setting up of separate benches for hearing cases, the required number of judges and the neglect of certain issues in the constitutional package, which will need to be resolved.
One of the objectives of the 26th Constitutional Amendment was that the separate adjudication of political and constitutional cases would provide adequate time for hearing other cases. In this way, one can expect quick action in cases of general nature. According to a news, after the approval of the 26th constitutional amendment, the process of transferring the constitutional benches will be started. Supreme Court and all the five High Courts will decide the constitutional applications and petitions. In this way, it will be possible to provide justice to the citizens of more than 20 lakh cases in less time. One of the reasons for this hope can be the process of reviewing the performance of the High Court judges from time to time by the Judicial Commission. The Sumoto case, the writ petitions, is a case in point where family inheritance, land disputes have been awaiting decisions for several decades. One aspect or confusion in this matter is that until the issue of distinction between constitutional and other cases is not fully clarified, the question whether the case should be heard by a common bench or referred to a constitutional bench will continue to arise day by day.
Many public rights fall under the category of fundamental constitutional rights, for which consideration should be given to the timely appointment of the right bench. Legal experts have pointed out some issues in the drafting of the constitutional package which may cause confusion. It is worth mentioning that the 27th amendment to the constitution was put on hold for which the requirements arising from the 26th amendment can be taken into consideration. Constitution making and legislation is a continuous process that goes along with social change. In today's scientific age where new inventions are coming every day, new problems are also arising which require new legislation. The provision of separate benches for speedy adjudication of cases in the courts has its own significance. But the growing population and the alarming number of people falling below the poverty line require that cheap and cost-effective methods of adjudication, including the resolution of disputes, be devised. There should be a system to settle matters of a family nature especially at the lowest level of local government. The desired results can also be achieved by applying some of the already existing projects in this chapter. The old traditions of our social system Jirga, Panchayat,Mediation, Conciliation Court methods can also be availed..
