Karachi, Governor of Sindh Kamran Khan Tesori expressed significant concerns over the fluctuating decisions within the country’s judiciary, questioning the impact on investment and public trust during a press conference in Islamabad. He highlighted the inconsistency of judicial decisions as problematic for attracting and sustaining investment in Pakistan, stressing the need for a stable legal environment to foster economic growth.
According to Sindh Governor House, Governor Tesori pointed out the inconsistency in decisions that change “in the morning and evening,” which could deter potential investors who favor predictable legal frameworks. He emphasized the necessity for the judiciary to operate without succumbing to external influences or rapid changes in legal interpretations that could undermine the rule of law.
During the press conference, the governor referred to a specific judiciary decision that has caused nationwide concern, urging the Supreme Judicial Council to investigate the reasons behind the quick succession of such decisions. He argued for a review of the judicial processes to ensure that they are aligned with constitutional mandates and do not fluctuate with changing political landscapes.
Governor Tesori also discussed the broader implications of unstable judicial rulings for Pakistan’s political and economic systems. He suggested that the Supreme Court revisit its past decisions, including those related to high-profile political figures, to maintain its integrity and the respect it commands across the nation.
The governor called for the Parliament to play a more active role in overseeing judicial reforms, stating that the credibility of future judges and the decisions they make should be recognized and accepted by the public to prevent legal and political crises. He also highlighted the connection between judicial integrity and economic stability, indicating that the improvement of legal frameworks is essential for Pakistan to attract and secure both local and foreign investments.
