Abstract

In 2009, National Judicial (Policy Making) Committee prepared first of its kind “National Judicial Policy 2009: A Year for Focus on Justice at the Grassroot Level”. It was published by the Secretariat, Law and Justice Commission of Pakistan, Supreme Court Building, Islamabad. The Policy document contains policy guidelines for the whole judiciary of Pakistan, the contents of which were: Justice at the Grassroot Level by the Chief Justice of Pakistan, Executive Summary (Secretary NJPMC), National Judicial Policy, Independence of Judiciary, Misconduct, Eradication of Corruption, Expeditious Disposal of Cases, Short Term Measures, Criminal Cases, Civil Cases, Long Term Measures, Annexure. Muneeb Book House has also published the Policy with my comments in 2009. The said comments being Foreword to my book were also published online at the Social Science Research Network (SSRN) at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=3604656. The NJP was revised in the year 2012. I have added further comments in my Foreword for the second edition of the book. I deem it necessary that these comments are published online for wider readership of judges, lawyers, law students, law teachers, policy makers, researchers and social scientists. I hope that the readers will find them of interest.
