Granting adjournments in cases should now be considered a thing of past: CJP

Islamabad (Web Desk/Agencies):Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa Monday remarked that the concept of delaying cases in top court should be considered as over from now.

During the hearing of a case, the CJP remarked a number of cases were pending in the Supreme Court (SC), adding that in any case the respondents would be notified on one date and decision would be taken on next hearing on the arguments.

The top court imposed a fine worth Rs 5,000 against a lawyer for wasting the time of court.

The chief justice said that through this case, this message was for everyone that there would be no delay in the cases, adding that it happened in the rest of the courts that time was given to submit the documents.

He remarked that the Supreme Court was the last forum which already had the record of all decisions of the cases.
