Residential property incorporation restriction
In the heart of Karachi, the city's judicial district is facing a persistent issue with encroachments, creating significant challenges for movement and access. This problem has been highlighted by Advocate Razi Alam, a legal professional in Karachi, who recently made a request to the civil and law-enforcement authorities for immediate, lawful action.
Advocate Alam's plea underscores the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring that justice begins at the gates of the judiciary. He emphasises the need for order and orderliness to be reflected in the surroundings of the courts in Karachi, particularly in the city court area, where vehicles are permanently parked along main roads, leaving only a narrow pathway.
Despite regular visits from senior government officials, effective removal of encroachments has not been achieved. This is due in part to the entrenched nature of these encroachments and the complexity of the issues involved. Senior lawyers and bar representatives have called for urgent reforms and improvements, citing security concerns, infrastructural challenges, and administrative bottlenecks as potential complicating factors.
Moreover, anti-encroachment operations have been conducted in various districts of Karachi under the directives of the Commissioner Karachi, yet the judicial district remains choked with illegal structures and parked vehicles, suggesting selective or ineffective enforcement in this sensitive area.
The inaction of the authorities reflects an alarming disregard for the rule of law. The rule of law must begin at the gates of the judiciary itself, and the surroundings should reflect order, not chaos. Advocate Alam is urging for action to ensure that justice is not only dispensed within the courts but that it is also reflected in the orderliness of the surroundings.
The authorities are urged to take immediate, lawful action to clear encroachments in the city court area of Karachi, restoring order and upholding the rule of law.
- The world is watching as Karachi's judicial district continues to battle encroachments, highlighting the importance of implementing effective policy-and-legislation and reforms.
- In light of the ongoing issue surrounding encroachments in the city court area, us as a democratic country should prioritize ensuring security and order, even in the intricacies of our general-news and crime-and-justice sector.
- Advocate Alam's call for action serves as a reminder to our politicians to prioritize the rule of law, ensured order, and orderliness in all aspects of our nation, including the sensitive and critical areas like the judicial district.
