KARACHI: The Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Mian Saqib Nisar remarked on Saturday that he doesn’t plan on interfering in the work of institutions but is forced to do so.
“When we do interfere it is said that we are foolish to interfere in the work of executive,” the chief justice observed while hearing the suo motu case of the death of children in Tharparkar and Mithi.
On Wednesday, former premier Nawaz had said that the function of the Parliament has also gone into the “hands of others”, he said, adding “laws have been struck down. I was removed as the president of PML-N after the elections acts was struck down.”
He had remarked that CJP with suo motu notices has taken the matters in his own hands and taken the functions of executive away from it.
“I am not saying this should not be done [taking suo motu notices]. Please do this, but also do something about 1.8 million cases which are pending in courts. Thousands of people are still waiting for their turn to get justice.
“You shouldn’t interfere with what is not your work,” Nawaz added.
