Minister Tarar Announces Five New Judges for Peshawar High Court

A recent meeting between a delegation of lawyers from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council and Federal Minister for Law and Justice Azam Nazeer Tarar shed light on the pressing need for more judicial positions in the Peshawar High Court. The delegation, comprising key figures such as KP Bar Council Vice Chairman Sadiq Mohmand and former Vice Chairman Ahmad Farooq Khattak, engaged in discussions with the minister regarding the necessity of additional judges following the merger of Tribal Districts.

It was revealed during the meeting that the demand for increased judicial capacity in the Peshawar High Court had not been adequately addressed post-merger. However, Minister Tarar confirmed the government's commitment to establishing five new judge positions in the Peshawar High Court. He underscored that these new roles would be created in compliance with legal protocols once budgetary allocations are finalized.

This pivotal decision is poised to enhance the efficiency of the judicial system in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, ultimately making access to justice more seamless for the region's inhabitants.

The forthcoming addition of new judges to the Peshawar High Court marks a significant step towards bolstering the legal infrastructure in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. By addressing the longstanding need for more judicial positions, this development is set to positively impact the delivery of justice and legal services in the region, ensuring a more robust and accessible legal system for all.
