LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Ahsan Iqbal on Saturday welcomed the incumbent Chief Justice of Pakistan Asif Saeed Khosa’s observations during his speech at a full court reference held to pay homage to outgoing chief justice Mian Saqib Nisar.
“The observations made by incoming CJ Khosa are a breath of fresh air after ex CJ Saqib Nisar’s era of “dam” justice,” tweeted the PML-N leader. “Judiciary is bedrock of justice in any society. His commitment to build dams against delays in cases & frivolous litigation and set civil supremacy are welcome.”

Speaking during a full court reference held in honour of outgoing chief justice Mian Saqib Nisar who retired on Jan 17, Justice Khosa said the top court will only take suo moto action when there is no other solution available.
“The authority will only be used sparingly and for significant national matters,” he said. “Court would set up parameters for suo motu powers.”
The top court judge vowed to speed up delivery of justice in civil court and stated there should be no military intervention in civilian matters. “Military court trials are considered wrong worldwide. There was a perception that military courts held swifter trials.”
Justice Khosa also emphasised the need for all institutions to work together towards the country’s progress. “There was a need for conversations pertaining to whether any institution was interfering in another institution’s work.”
