The judges here
Published in Daily Times on February 23, 2015Sir:
In any civilised country, a judge who refuses to grant bail to an accused
person in a bailable offence case would be suspected of discrimination against
the accused. He would immediately be suspended, an enquiry would be held and,
after being found culpable, he would be dismissed from service (and perhaps
sentenced to a jail term as well). In Pakistan, such a man is simply
transferred, leaving him and others like him free to indulge in further
misconduct. Perhaps this is where reform is most urgently needed. But, of
course, it will take a very long time before we find leaders willing to do what
needs to be done.
