ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Yahya Afridi said that International Day for Judicial Wellbeing reminds us that the strength of any justice system depends not only on its laws and institutions but also on the wellbeing of those entrusted with administering justice.
In a message on this occasion, the CJP stated that judicial wellbeing is not a matter of individual welfare; it is fundamental to judicial independence, institutional integrity, and public confidence in the rule of law.

Judges shoulder immense responsibility, often under demanding circumstances, he said. He emphasised that to discharge this duty with independence, impartiality, and excellence, they must be supported by institutions that foster professional growth, modern working environments, effective administrative systems, and a culture of respect and recognition.
The Chief Justice said that the judiciary of Pakistan remains committed to embedding these principles within its reform agenda. “Our continued investments in digital transformation, improved court infrastructure, institutional support and judicial education reflect our belief that strengthening judges ultimately strengthens justice itself.”
He paid tribute to the dedication, integrity and resilience of judges across Pakistan, who continue to administer justice with courage, professionalism and an unwavering commitment to the rule of law. “I pay special tribute to those serving in remote and far-flung districts under difficult and often challenging circumstances. Their service exemplifies the highest traditions of our judiciary.”
“Let this day reaffirm our commitment to a judiciary that values both excellence in adjudication and the human dimension of justice. Every judge deserves the institutional support to serve with dignity, confidence and excellence. In strengthening our judges, we strengthen justice itself,” he concluded.
