ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan Yahya Afridi told PSP officers on Thursday that an effective delivery of justice fundamentally relies on fair and objective investigations
He was talking to a delegation of 42 Probationary Officers of the Police Service of Pakistan (52nd Common Training Programme), currently attending the Professional Exchange Programme at the Federal Judicial Academy (FJA), who called on the CJP at the Supreme Court of Pakistan on Thursday.
The Chief Justice highlighted the key features of Pakistan’s criminal justice system and emphasised the central role of the police in ensuring professional investigations, adherence to lawful procedures and the protection of citizens’ rights. The Chief Justice observed that the police and the courts are integral components of the criminal justice system, each entrusted with distinct yet complementary responsibilities in the administration of justice.
He further emphasised that while the police are responsible for conducting lawful investigations, the courts adjudicate matters based on the evidence presented before them.
Effective delivery of justice, he noted, fundamentally depends on fair, objective and professional investigations.
