Live​ Broadcasting ‌of​ Cases of‍ Public Importance

Addressing the full⁣ court address at the beginning of the new judicial year, Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa announced that​ the court has decided to broadcast cases of public ⁢importance live with ‌the aim of showcasing the judiciary’s performance to the ⁤public. This move is intended to promote​ transparency and accountability, ⁤allowing the public to witness ⁤the judicial process firsthand.

Improving ⁣Transparency and Accountability

Chief Justice Isa ​acknowledged that every institution has room for improvement and emphasized the need for transparency and accountability ‌in the judiciary. He noted that in⁤ the past, the formation of the bench often indicated ⁤the likely‍ outcome of a⁢ case, but this is no longer the case. ⁣The Chief Justice​ stated that he himself‍ does not know the decision of the judges sitting on the right and left,‍ indicating a shift towards‍ greater transparency.

Reforms in the Cause​ List ⁢Approval Process

Justice Qazi Faiz Isa also announced reforms in the cause list approval process. Previously, the Chief Justice⁤ had the authority ‍to change the cause list, but this‌ authority has ‌now been dissolved. The⁢ Chief Justice is now responsible for approving the cause list, ⁣and if it is not passed, the registrar has the authority to organize the hearing of ‌cases.

Acknowledging Bias in the Judiciary

Chief Justice Isa acknowledged ​that every judge has some bias, ⁤which is shaped by their experiences and background. He ​noted that this bias is⁤ not unique to⁤ Pakistan and is a common phenomenon worldwide. However, he‍ emphasized the importance of acknowledging and addressing this bias to ensure fair decision-making.
