Make up blog: Revisiting Judiciary

The inefficient and unproductive practices of the judiciary in Pakistan made me believe that the country was in need of another system that could resolve all the prevalent issues. However, after the thoughtful discussions in class, I have come to believe that this may not be a viable option.

Putting up an entirely new justice system would be impractical and costly. Though it would create new jobs but there is a greater chance that the existing people would not be entirely compensated. Moreover, it is uncertain that it would work as there is a greater probability that the new system would reach the same fate as the existing one; failing to deliver justice. On the contrary, the current judicial system has in effect worked in some countries proving that with slight modifications, it can operate in Pakistan as well. Furthermore, another system would open the floodgate for people to establish their own justice systems, like the jirga system in rural areas, acting as a token to retaliate against the government in any way possible. Perhaps, current judicial system is the best the country has.

By reviewing the system, the branch can be improved to work efficiently. Current cases should be resolved as soon as possible and trained officials should be appointed to prevent the formation of backlog in future. Also, more resources should be diverted to coach the officials in the basic know-how of the system.

In a nutshell, instead of a making a new justice system, the existing one should be improved to cover for the present loopholes.
