Training essential for judges: Chief Justice

Friday, December 14, 2007

ISLAMABAD: The Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar, has said that the key purpose of the pre-service training at the Federal Judicial Academy (FJA) is to enhance the knowledge of judges.

He was addressing a batch of 51 civil judges from the Punjab at the Supreme Court of Pakistan, says a press release. The civil judges-cum-judicial magistrates are attending a six-week pre-service training at the FJA and the visit was a part of their orientation with the higher judiciary.

Addressing the judges, the chief justice advised them that their main interest should be the issues and problems faced by the deprived and under-privileged classes of the society and they should try to provide justice in quick and meaningful manner to them. He urged the trainee judges to learn about the issues of the rights of the people and try to resolve them in accordance with the law.

The Registrar of the Supreme Court, Raja Lehrasab Khan, briefed the trainee judges on the working of the apex court. Director General FJA Moazzam Hayat and other faculty members of the academy were also present on the occasion. Earlier, the trainee judges visited the court room and attended the proceedings.

The civil judges-cum-judicial magistrates are in the last week of their training course and will be passed out in a ceremony to be held on December 19.

The training is going well. 26 more judges took the PCO today.
