Judge Supreme Court of Pakistan, Justice Dost Muhammad Khan says, "Just and simple life of the Holy Prophet(PBUH) offers us a great message but unfortunately we are not following the fundamental principles of Islam and those also of our Holy Prophet (SAW) to lead a dignified and honourable life in this world and earn the pleasure of Allah".
He was addressing to the prosecutors from all over Pakistan, Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan in the certificate awarding ceremony at the conclusion of a one-week training course on "Role of Law Officers vis-à-vis Quick Disposal Criminal Cases", held here in the Federal Judicial Academy, Islamabad, on Saturday. He said, "The Holy Prophet's (PBUH) life, both private and public, is an excellent example for his followers. He Himself practised and preached just and simple and so did his comrades and others. All of us must live decently and kindly."
Regarding the role of Prosecutors in the Criminal Justice System, he said, "Role of Prosecutors in the Criminal Justice System, at all levels, is very vital. Unfortunately, our prosecutors and our system are facing several problems and challenges and also lapses in the relevant law, but even then they are trying to deliver.
In the wake of growing extremism, militancy and terrorism coupled with the sophisticated nature of crime in the country, reforming the Criminal Justice System not only a necessity nowadays but it should also be our national priority so that all stakeholders of the system should be in a better position to deliver in a more professional manner.
When England can combat terror and militancy, we can also but for this aim to achieve, proper investment in the capacity building, infrastructure, among others, is essential. Earlier, Fakhar Hayat, Director General of the Academy, presented his welcome speech, profile of the honourable chief guest and an overview of the course. "The Academy always designs and develops such courses for the participants that they themselves should feel a positive and tangible change in performance and professional attitude.'
