The project is not only unique but first of its kind in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as, the courts are equipped with advance and up-to-date technology to enable that the trial under Terrorism law is conducted according to the international norms.
During the inaugural speech, his lordship Hon’ble the Chief Justice highlighted that “Terrorism has worst affected the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in terms of slow downing the economic progress, disruption of social structure, and bringing damage to politics of the province. Loss in terms of sacred lives and infrastructure has been unimaginable”. His lordship added that “it is our duty, as the guardians of justice, to protect our people and preserve the fundamental principles upon which our society is built”.
These specialized courts will serve as a bastion of justice and a beacon of hope for all those affected by the aftermath of terrorism. These will also be a place where the lives lost in acts of terror will not be forgotten, and where the survivors will find solace, healing, and closure. To ensure fairness, impartiality, and efficiency, these courts consist of highly skilled judges, prosecutors, and experts in the field of counter-terrorism. Moreover, they are also equipped with the necessary resources, training, and support to carry out their sacred duty of delivering justice.

At the occasion, his lordship emphasized that “fight against terrorism is not solely the responsibility of the judiciary but it required a comprehensive and coordinated approach involving all branches of government, law enforcement agencies, intelligence services, and the public at large”. He thus underscored that all these agencies must perform collectively to dismantle the networks that perpetrate these heinous acts, disrupt their financing, and counter the extremist ideologies that fuel their actions. During final remarks, his lordship accentuated never to waver in our pursuit of a province and country free from terrorism, where justice prevails, and where fear no longer threatens our way of life.

Thereafter, central Prison, Mardan was also visited comprehensively wherein, his lordship not only examined and interviewed the inmates but he had a look of the entire prison’s building. His lordship directed the worthy district and Sessions Judges to expedite the trials of Juvenile and females besides, of those prisoners who are involved in petty nature offences. The District and Sessions, Judges Mardan, Nowshera and Charsadda were specifically ordered to take concrete steps and share their report whereas, the Superintendent Jail was directed to share the particulars of inmates immediately with the former. It was also directed that the district and sessions Judges shall conduct regular unscheduled visits to Jail. At the end, his lordship extended thanks to all and reiterated that the district and sessions Judges shall not only keep a vigilant eye over the inmates but also closely monitor the affairs of jails.

PRESS RELEASE       

INAUGURATION OF CHILD PROTECTION COURTS AT SWAT, KOHAT, BANNU & D.I.KHAN
(Through video link)
  

The Chief Justice of Peshawar High Court (PHC), Hon’ble Mr. Justice Qaiser Rashid Khan virtually inaugurated on 09-04-2021 Friday, Child Protection Courts in divisional headquarters Kohat, Swat, Bannu & D.I.Khan in pursuance to the vision for providing justice to children in a friendly and secure environment. With the inauguration of these Child Courts the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has now eight Child Courts, the highest in the Country

The ceremony was held simultaneously in Peshawar High Court and the said sub divisional headquarters. In the Peshawar High Court the ceremony was attended by the Hon’ble Judges, Advocate General, Chief Secretary, IGP, Home Secretary, Secretary Law, Secretary Social Welfare, Principal Officers of PHC along with other distinguished guests. All the Child Courts established in the province are now equipped with all the digital paraphernalia. Separate rooms for children in contact with law and in conflict with law are provided where all the basic facilities are ensured. Child Protection courts have been established in the province not only to ensure protection of children from maltreatment, violence, exploitation, abuse and neglect but also to provide speedy, effective and inexpensive justice to the children according to the mandate set by the UNCRC (United Nation Convention on Rights of Children).
The Chief Justice while highlighting the need and importance of exclusive Child Courts in the justice system remarked, “Let me remind you that children under 14 years of age constitute almost 33% of our population. It would, therefore, be unjust and unfortunate to blink the welfare of such a large chunk of the populace.”
He further added that cognizant of its responsibility, the Peshawar High Court embarked upon a plan in 2019 to establish a chain of Child Courts throughout the Province, beginning with Peshawar, extending next, to the Divisional Headquarters and finally to each district of the Province. This, he affirmed, was a big stride forward in juvenile justice system unmatched by any other Province.
Referring to the remarkable performance of the existing Child Courts, the CJ stated it is heartening for me to share with you the commendable performance of the four Child Courts in the Province. These Courts while considering the statutory provision of law have disposed of the cases of children expeditiously and the average active time of case of a juvenile is 123 days as per the independent evaluation. The juvenile justice committees are functional and the new concept of diversion introduced in JJSA 2018 has been availed by 56 children 98% of whom are male while 2% are female. Adopting the procedure of diversion not only saved the children from the rigors of trial but also help in reformation and rehabilitation of children without involvement of any risk. With the establishment of child courts International obligation under the UNCRC are fulfilled. Soon with the assistance of the Provincial Government such like courts will be established in all the districts to ensure child justice at all levels.
The environment in the Child Court will provide an opportunity to the Children to record their version / evidence before the Court without any eye contact with the accused or even remotely to video link, the facility of video link is provided in all the Child Courts. Peshawar High Court hopes that the Provincial Government will take concrete and practical steps on the establishment of observance centers and rehabilitation centers for children to fulfill the requirement of statute.

Obituary

OBITUARY

The Judges, staff of the Peshawar High Court and District Judiciary are deeply saddened by the sudden demise of Mr. Justice Waqar Ahmad Seth, the Chief Justice, Peshawar High Court and find themselves short of words to express the colossal loss of the legal fraternity, particularly the judiciary of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, resulting from his departure. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He is survived by a widow and a daughter. May Almighty Allah grant them the fortitude and courage to bear this irreparable loss.     

The national flag will fly half-mast in Peshawar High Court, its benches and district judiciary for three days to mark the occasion and pay homage to the departed soul.

Born on March 16, 1961, to a notable educated family, his father being a Judge, he received his education in Peshawar which included law graduation from Khyber Law College, Peshawar in 1985 and Post-graduation in Political Science from University of Peshawar the following year.

Justice Waqar Ahmad Seth started his career in law in 1985 as an advocate and worked his way up to his enrolment as an advocate of the Supreme Court in 2008. His diligence, legal acumen and good reputation won him elevation to the Peshawar High Court as an additional Judge. His performance as a Banking Judge, a Company Judge of the Peshawar High Court, also as a member of the Subordinate Judiciary Service Tribunal and finally as the Chief Justice of the Peshawar High Court remained remarkable. His contribution as the Chief Justice has been singular both in terms of judicial and administrative aspects of his responsibilities. Integrity, legal insight, courage and profound sense of justice were the hallmarks of his stint as a Judge. His judgments have been quoted even by the International Court of Justice.

His funeral prayers will be offered at 2: 30 pm on 13.11.2020 in Colonel Sher Khan Stadium, (Old Army Stadium), Peshawar.

Press Release

Peshawar: Mr. Justice Waqar Ahmed Seth, Hon’ble the Chief Justice, Peshawar High Court has launched the File Tracking System (FTS) in Peshawar High Court.

File Tracking System is a step in the direction of realizing the concept of a paperless office. The solution is a simulation of the movement of physical files in electronic form. The system will enable fast file movement, its retrieval, and track the location of the files swiftly within the organization.

The existing manual file work system, requiring greater human effort, is deficient on many counts. Peshawar High Court, realizing the importance of good office, management trained its staff in Office Management Procedure. While embarking on a journey to make offices paperless with no more piles of files, Peshawar High Court started the scanning off record of all the wings as a short-term measure. The e-File Tracking System (FTS), a web-based application, would enable officers and employees to maintain a consistent watch over the movement of various important files and receipts at different levels in the process of decision making. The system will bring transparency, visibility, in time check & balance and proper follow up procedures to official work.

The Peshawar High Court is committed to use the innovative technologies and convert the existing business processes of the High Court to digital form for better service delivery.
