Late justice kundi was a great human being beside one of the best jurist.I Remember my meetingS with the late judge sahib in Abbottabad and found him a great knowledgeable person besides SHAFEEK TEACHER. Recent years i paid number of visits to the late judge sahib at his islamabad office and every time I found him with new spirit. He was much concerned for the on going bad law and order situation and polarisation in the country. He was of the view that country will be devalped if we get united and bring justice to the door steps of infividual. May Allaha rest him in peace.
