LAHORE: Political leaders have congratulated Qazi Faez Isa on his appointment as the 29th chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) and hoped the court would be balanced in the dispensation of justice under his leadership.
Former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif and PML-N chief organiser Maryam Nawaz Sharif expressed the hope that principles of justice would be upheld during the new chief justice’s tenure.
Congratulating CJP Isa on his new responsibilities, Mr Shehbaz stressed dispensation of justice was possible only through abiding by the Constitution, law and rules of business.
In a statement, the former prime minister expressed good wishes for the new CJP and said the masses were awaiting the delivery of justice.
He hoped the appointment would add to the credibility and reputation of Pakistan’s judiciary all over the world.
Ms Nawaz also welcomed the new chief justice and hoped “justice will return to courtrooms” with his appointment.
Speaking at a party meeting on Sunday, she said that hopefully, the scales of justice would be balanced for each citizen, and PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, along with other party leaders, would get rid of injustices done to them by ‘Project Imran’ activists.
