KARACHI: The Public Interest Law Association of Pakistan (PILAP) expressed concerns about a recent letter from six judges of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) to the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC).
In a press release, the PILAP said that the separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary are the fundamental of any democracy. The PILAP underscored the importance of fair judicial review for public and government actions, while also advocating for accountability in both public and private sectors.
In light of recent events, PILAP urged for the preservation of justice and impartiality within the judiciary. Any threat to judicial independence undermines the rule of law and erodes public trust in the legal system. PILAP calls for a thorough and unbiased investigation by the Supreme Judicial Council, particularly involving the Chief Justice of Pakistan.
PILAP reiterated its faith in the institutional integrity of the Judiciary, expecting it to uphold justice for all citizens and safeguard the rule of law in Pakistan.
