Injustice And Reforms
(Syed Manazir-ul-Haq, Karachi)
INJUSTICE, DELAY AND
COST-BEARING JUSTICE LEADS TO UTTER DESTRUCTION
Pakistan was established in 1947 and during 62 years of its life it lost its one
arm in the year 1971 due to injustices. When we observe the history of collapsed
nations it has come to our knowledge that due to injustices they had been ruined
and removed from the world’s map. All Books of Heaven severely stress over
justice and warn human beings not to make ill-dealings whether they are
concerned to human beings or with God or all other creatures of Creator of the
Universe as disloyalty to God and His creatures is disastrous.
Pakistan judicial and Police systems are not up to the mark as they are not
providing true justice and relief to human beings especially the poor. To avoid
the concept or law of Jungle “Might is Right” the government should control the
vital social evils such as anarchy, killings, snatching, dacoity, robbery,
kidnapping, gang raping etc. prevailing in the country at all costs to relief
the general and peaceful masses as well as to relief the rulers so that they
could rule over the country long lasting. To remove anarchy and lawlessness from
the country following two steps may kindly be taken on war-footing basis as it
is law of nature that if we want to protect our children we will have to protect
other children otherwise our children will remain in risk and danger :-
POLICE REFORM: Appointment of all Personnel of Law-Enforcement Agencies must be
made on purely merit with handsome package and benefits enabling them to avoid
bribe as corruption is the main cause of all social evils and mounting crimes.
After transparent selection they must be trained on the disciplines i.e.
“Treatment with the masses” “Treatment with the culprits” “Strategy how to keep
law and order situation” “Strategy to control the out-raged Mob” “Strategy to
make visible and invisible surveillance”. After successful training they must be
provided by the employer ration, Govt. quarters, Education to all their
children, full medical facilities to all their dependants including parents and
at least provision of two full bonuses annually. They may also be allowed to get
appropriate share in “Goods” recovered by them. They may be given prizes and
cash awards when they arrest dye-hard culprits by putting their lives in danger.
In case they get martyred during encounter with extremists, robbers or ill-doers
their heirs may be given handsome lump sum amount and one dependent of the
martyred law-enforcer may be given prompt employment. After giving all
facilities with handsome salary package they will be responsible to robustly
keep law and order situation in the country. They must avoid corruption and if
anyone is found in bribery he must be shot dead in public after short trial.
JUDICIAL REFORM: God fearing people having sound knowledge of Quran and
“Shariah” must be appointed as judges purely on transparent basis by the Supreme
Court in all over the country and no Government involvement is carried out in
their appointments. Their responsibilities are sensitive and critical therefore
Govt. should provide full protection enabling them to perform their duties
openly without fear. To achieve far-reaching effects judicial system may be
separated from the Administration. Monetary independence may also be granted to
them. They may also be provided very handsome package and benefits so that they
may not involve in corruption. They may be made responsible to settle the cases
within the stipulated period fixed by the Government so that justice is not
delayed as justice delayed justice denied. The poor who are not in a position to
bear the litigation expenses should be provided all kind of help by the
Government or by the Court so that they could also get justice as in the present
judicial system they poor do not resort to court and deprive of justice whereas
influential and wealthy people by way of hiring top-class advocate win the false
cases. These mal-practices must be brought to an end. Stern punishment may be
awarded to all corrupt elements without considering their status. Moreover
prompt steps may also be taken by the Govt. to create computer oriented
atmosphere at “Thanas and courts” so that people could lodge FIRs and complaints
electronically (e-FIR, e-Complaint). Their complaints and FIR may be sent to
“Crime Database Centre” systematically so that action could be taken on genuine
complaints and FIR. Lodger or maker of false reports must be brought into book.
To avoid blood revolution we must enforce justice with full strength.
