SC and cases

Published September 13, 2017

LITIGANTS are directly approaching the Supreme Court for even less important cases. This a wastage of time. Instead there should be a separate constitutional court in the country to deal with government and opposition cases only. After formation of such a court , the Supreme Court may be able to decide pending cases.

For instance, it is over four years but the supreme court is still stuck in cases relating to rigging in the elections 2013. It seems our politicians have no job except to file cases in the Supreme Court. I appeal to all authorities concerned to consider my suggestion.
