Judgment text as reported

GHULAM ASGHAR PATHAN VS FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN art.37---Promotion of social justice and eradication of social evils---Scope---Speedy justice is not about rushing the disposal of cases to clear the backlog in courts---Rather, it refers to delivering justice fairly and promptly by following due process of law---Effective dispensation of justice plays a crucial role in creating an environment conducive to a country's development, and the importance of this cannot be overstated---However, prolonged delays in dispensing justice can erode people's faith in the system and courts bogged down by an uncontrollable number of cases and delays cannot fulfill their true purpose---It is a common misconception that judges are solely responsible for addressing delays in the justice system---In reality, it is the responsibility of the State, specifically the Provincial Government, as outlined in art. 37(d) under Part II of Chap. 2 of the Constitution---Primary objective of the justice system is to dispense justice effectively in accordance with the law and the litigants are the real stakeholders in this process---Therefore, it is essential to address any systemic failures practically rather than just rhetorically to ensure an administratively capable system.
