SANGHAR, May 9 Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Mohammad Choudhry cast doubt on high cost of construction of the judicial complex at Tando Adam, which he inaugurated on Saturday, and directed Justice Arif Khilji of Sindh High Court to run a check on the record.

The CJP who is on a visit of the province said the cost of the building was more than cost of a court building in Islamabad.

He inspected different rooms of the building and checked quality of construction work.

The CJP also directed Sanghar DPO Zulfiqar Junejo to complete investigation of cases and submit challans to respective courts within 14 days.

Police always failed to submit challans in time and in many cases they had submitted the documents in 10 months, he said.

He said later at a lawyers' gathering that a society can survive a tyranny but it can not tolerate injustice. A country can only prosper in today's world if there is supremacy of law and parliament, he remarked.

He also visited district court Sanghar and attended a luncheon hosted in his honour by District Bar Association.

The CJP was accompanied by Chief Justice Sindh High Court Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali, Justice Sarmad Jalal Usmani, Justice (Rtd) Rana Bhagwan Das, Justice Musheer Aalam, Justice Arif Hussain Khilji, Justice Maqbool Awan, Justice Ameer Hani Muslim, Justice Ghulam Rabbani, Justice Gulzar Ahmed, Justice Mehmood Adam, former president of SCBA Hamid Khan and others.
