| DATE: 2010-03-11 | PRINT |
The letter signed by Ahmed Naeem, President of the Association and judge of Civil Court, read that some of the political parties have been accusing the judiciary ever since the separation of powers under the new constitution.
The Association is concerned about the Chief Judge being silent, while politicians criticise the judiciary, which might lead to loss of confidence in the judiciary, the letter read.
It also accused “some of the parties” of attempting to ruin the judiciary’s dignity.
“It requires us to think about the future of the judiciary, as the public is losing confidence, trust and hope in us, while believing that the order of the judiciary is lost in the country,” the letter said.
The letter also said the judiciary has to reveal the details of its objectives and goals, noting that failure to do so could weaken the judiciary in the future.
Judge Naeem, who is also the President of the Association, said the judiciary’s appeal to Chief Judge was “to hand over the post to another person, if he is unable to do his responsibilities.”
“If he [Abdulla Saeed] cannot take the responsibility, that means he does not want it. If that is the case, he should hand over the post to another person. Our [Judges Association’s] aim is to reveal that to [the public],” he said.
“This is the word of the whole judiciary. The answer of every judge will be the same, if you ask them”.
