Nasir hails Govt decision to setup HC in Capital

ISLAMABAD—President Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) Nasir Khan highly appreciated the decision from Federal Government to set up High Court in federal capital of Islamabad.
In a statement issued here on Wednesday, President ICCI said that after the establishment of High Court workload of Federal cases will be reduced from other benches, and federal government will be able to save the money and as well as time.
Having its own High Court would put it on a par with the provinces and the high courts in their provincial capital, he said, adding that, Federal High Court will be able to reduce the burden on the other high courts, since it will then be possible to divert to it thousands of appeals and cases filed by Islamabad based litigations.
Besides, lawyers and judges with an Islamabad domicile will also be able to rise and become high court judges, something they were not previously eligible for, since the city does not fall under the jurisdiction of any province.
The President ICCI said that due to lot of burden people have to wait many years for judiciary decisions. He also suggested setting up more High Curt benches in other important cities to reduce the burden.—Agencies
