ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Mohammad
Chaudhry has said corruption is intolerable and no compromise can be
made on it at any cost.
He said this while addressing 17th roll signing ceremony of newly enlisted lawyers of Supreme Court here Saturday.
“We
should all strive to uproot corruption and bribery. Lawyers should not
only discourage the corrupt elements but also identify them so that
transparency could be ensured in this system”, he stressed.
He
went on to say there was no difference between bar and bench. Both will
have to play their role together to meet the norms of justice, he
urged.
Due to movement for restoration of independent judiciary
people had pinned high hopes on judiciary, therefore, all the persons
affiliated with justice system will have to discourage their
professional obligations in befitting manner so that they could live
upto the expectations of people, he added.
Rule of law and
upholding constitution was essential for all of us, he said adding “we
should make all out efforts on this count.
He asked the lawyers
they were going to be enrolled as lawyers of Supreme Court therefore
they would have to work in better way for the sake of rule of law and
for upholding the constitution.
Requirements of judicial system
could not be met without cooperation from lawyers, he underlined.
