THATHA: May 3, 2023: The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) will enjoy summer vacations for around three months starting from June 15.
A notification issued by SCP Assistant Registrar, Khurrum Shahzad, for Registrar on May 2, 2023 said SCP will have summer vacations from June 15 to September 11, 2023.
SCP enjoys summer vacations of around three months every year. Its an irony that SCP of this country remains on summer leaves for around three months every year when its unheard cases are piling up and millions of the victims and their families wait indefinitely before their cases are disposed-off.
The apex court’s Assistant Registrar has quoted SCP rules 1980 for notification of the summer vacations.
The judges of this country are the most privileged section of the society and each one of them gets salary in millions of rupee, besides enjoying other special treatments like free petrol in hundreds of litres for personal and family cars, free electricity to hundreds of units and personal staff whose salaries are paid from the treasury. In addition to it , the judges of SCP get special treatment in pensions unlike other government employees.
Despite having heavenly treatment in this country, the judges of SCP want to have around three months summer vacations leaving behind piled up cases many of them determine life and death matters. In this country accused remain in jail and wait for their trial.
Pakistan’s judicial system is the most disappointing in the world and its performance is an embarrassment to the poor people of Pakistan as it always remain at the bottom of the world ranking.
