Affirming the Constitution’s promise of equality, inclusion, and peaceful coexistence, the Hon’ble Chief Justice of Pakistan, in his capacity as Chairman of the Law and Justice Commission of Pakistan (LJCP) undertook a field visit to District Tharparkar - one of the country’s most remote regions, marked by a low human development index and home to a religious minority. The Hon’ble Chief Justice, High Court of Sindh graciously accompanied his lordship during the visit.
The visit reflected the Supreme Court’s commitment to ensuring that access to justice, institutional attention, and constitutional protection extend uniformly to all citizens, irrespective of faith, geography, or socio-economic status.
At the Civil Court Complex, Nangarparkar, the Hon’ble Chief Justice reviewed court functioning emphasizing that dignity in justice delivery requires functional public facilities. His lordship greatly appreciated the recently provided basic amenities particularly women facilitation center, clean drinking water, solarization and e-library in a climate-stressed and resource-constrained area.
An interactive meeting with High Court Bar Association, Mirpurkhas, Bar Association Mitti, Umarkot and Nangarparkar, was also held, emphasizing constructive bench–bar collaboration as a cornerstone of public trust and effective justice delivery.
The Hon’ble Chief Justice also visited historic Kasbo Temple and Churrio Jabal Durga Mata Temple, reaffirming the judiciary’s constitutional role in upholding religious freedom, protecting cultural heritage, and promoting interfaith harmony - symbolic of Pakistan’s pluralistic social fabric and the State’s obligation to safeguard minority rights.
At the District Court Complex, Mithi, the Hon’ble Chief Justice reviewed court working, case management practices, infrastructure needs, and women-friendly facilities, highlighting the importance of inclusive and gender-responsive court environments. He further directed that gaps relating to accessibility, sanitation, and functionality be formally documented for remedial action under the LJCP’s development frameworks.
The visit forms part of the Law and Justice Commission of Pakistan’s field-driven approach to identifying systemic gaps and advancing targeted reforms, reflecting the Supreme Court’s resolve to translate constitutional guarantees into lived realities for all citizens.
