ISLAMABAD, (Manend News): Supreme Court Bar Association of
Pakistan (SCBA) President Chaudhry Muhammad Ahsan Bhoon
Advocate has said that so called amendments in “”Criminal Law
Reforms” as proposed by Ministry of Law and justice, without the
consultation of all stake holders in general and legal fraternity in
particular, will pose even more grave dangerous to existing criminal
justice system and will avert the true spirit of effective, just, fair and
expeditious dispensation of justice, to public at large.
According to state issue by Secretary SCBA Waseem Mumtaz Malik,
while categorically rejecting the proposed “Criminal Law Reforms”
Muhammad Ahsan Bhoon lambasted that the Federal Minister of Law
and Justice has once again shown his lack of knowledge towards law
and has effectively demonstrated his inability as well as the
incapability of his team. He said that there is no doubt that law
reforms are indeed necessary for the betterment of the overall
spectrum of the criminal justice system but unilateral and capricious
approach towards such sensitive matters, will only add fuel to fire.
He stressed that consultative process should always be given priority
in such matter of great public and judicial importance, as such, the
“Law Ministry” should have invited the “input” of legal fraternity so as
to reach more efficient, resourceful and inexpensive laws. However,
the proposed amendments are mere eye-wash and cosmetic work that
will not serve the required objectives.
Muhammad Ahsan Bhoon further expressed his reservations that
according to his knowledge, even the members of the Parliamentary
Committee on Law and Justice were also not consulted on said
“Criminal Law Reforms/Amendments”, which is highly condemnable.
