Chief Justice of Pakistan Yahya Afridi expressed concern over the prolonged duration of court cases during a hearing, stating that sometimes a single sentence from the Supreme Court can lead to cases continuing for 18 years.
Land Dispute Case Heard in Supreme Court
A two-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Yahya Afridi, heard a land dispute case in the Supreme Court.
The petitioner’s lawyer requested the Supreme Court to issue a written order directing them to refer to the relevant forum.
Chief Justice Yahya Afridi shared his experience of hearing an appeal against the objections of the Registrar’s Office, where the lawyer asked for a direction to refer to the relevant forum.
He emphasized that a single sentence from the Supreme Court can lead to cases continuing for 18 years, and that nothing should be written in the order that would restart the case in a civil court.
Justice Shahid Bilal advised the petitioner’s lawyer that they could approach the relevant forum even without a written order from the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court ultimately rejected the petitioner’s plea to issue a direction to refer to the relevant forum.
