Agreed with Sociologist and Saleeqa. Here are some statistics which published on February 01, 2010 in Daily Times. 1.52 million cases pending in courts countrywide, 18,312 cases in SC, 110,110 in LHC, 29,414 in SHC, 14,522 in PHC, 4,893 in BHC.

We have adhoc judicial system which according to the lawyers is independent and this system is revolving around single person: Mr. Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudry though he is also criticized which is another topic. After the retirement of Iftikhar Chaudry we will soon get the judicial system in previous position as that of Dogars and company.

Whole concentration of the apex court is on cases like NRO, 18th amendment, Presidential immunity and certain other cases which can be counted on finger tips whereas the remaining 1.52 millions cases are set aside and people are begging for mercy.

In our country people are reluctant to lodge FIA in police station and prefer bargaining and reconciliation instead of becoming the dreadful victim of our cruel 'thana-kacheri' system. For that reason cruel parallel courts i.e. Jirga, Maraka, Panchayat, are still existing in our country and people forcefully rely on their due to its easy and quick system of so-called justice.

Judiciary was restored by a collation of all the major political parties of the country including PML-N, ANP, PPP and other nationalist. Movement of lawyers was successful due to popular support and now they take credit of the restoration of judiciary and blackmail them for their mischief. Lawyers dictate the judges specially of lower judiciary because they have restored judiciary.

Personally I am of the view that the movement in which major political societies were united in collaboration with civil society and lawyers liberated and restored some of the judges not the judiciary. People have to support leaders, so its their responsibility to decide wisely. In a nutshell judiciary is still in chains in lower level and the movement was for the restoration of some judges. People want justice not chief justice,, institutions should be made independent for life time not for the sake of some people.
