On Tuesday, Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, a senior judge of the Pakistani Supreme Court, emphasized the importance of dialogue and cooperation in the growth of institutions.
The future chief justice of Pakistan addressed a two-day training for District and Sessions Judges in Islamabad. He emphasized the difficulties facing the judiciary and mentioned that Pakistan’s litigious culture has led to an increase in the amount of cases that remain unresolved.
“We currently have only 4,000 judges available to manage this overwhelming caseload, and the number of pending cases continues to grow due to the influx of new filings,” he said.
Justice Shah suggested using Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) as a workable method to address this urgent problem.
