LAHORE: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar on Wednesday ordered the relocation of courts to their previous address near Kutchery Chowk within 10 days.
The CJP was hearing the suo motu case on the transfer of judicial complex in Multan. Last month, the Session and District courts in the city were shifted to new judicial complex, located on Matital Road.
He expressed his displeasure with the Lahore High Court Registrar Khursheed Anwar Rizi, questioning the reason behind the facility’s rushed inauguration when it did not appear to be ready for use.
The chief justice also observed that the registrar and sessions judge prepared a false report. “Have you seen the 11KV transmission lines? Have you covered your eyes with shades?”
He remarked that there is also no security at the new judicial complex, adding that there are no facilities to protect lawyers from harsh weather conditions.
The CJP observed that the new complex lacked a decent bar room and that it was located in a place that was practically farmland.
