6- JUDICIARY

The prevalent judicial system of our country is such that the poor oppressed masses face enormous difficulties in obtaining justice. Invariably, lawsuits drag on indefinitely and as a consequence the accused has to stay in prison for many years. Similarly, the person involved in litigation has to face great hardships. For this reason thousands of innocent people are still languishing in jails awaiting their trials to conclude. It is, therefore, essential that the people be provided inexpensive and expeditious justice. Hence the judicial system has to be organised on scientific and modern basis. The judicial process and methodology should be simplified. The number of judges and courts should be increased accordingly.

MQM has a firm belief in the independence of judiciary. Without independent judiciary, a democratic society cannot develop. MQM wants to make judiciary independent of the administration.

MQM wants to abolish all the special courts from the country. All the cases should be tried in the established courts of law. Special courts negate the concept of independent judiciary. Because the judges are appointed by the administration and their transfer and salaries are fixed by the government, their services are used for political aims and objectives. The independence of judiciary and the principles of justice demand that all special courts are abolished forthwith.
