ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry said on Wednesday lawyers, media and civil society had always played an important role for the uplift of law and independence of judiciary.

The lawyers’ role for the uplift of justice in one way or the other is pivotal, he said while addressing to the newly elected and outgoing members of the Supreme Court Bar Association of Pakistan (SCBAP) here.

Welcoming the newly elected representatives of SCBAP, the CJP maintained that being the part of the country’s highest and most important bar was a privilege for them and at the same time they were expected to act more professionally.

He expressed the confidence that the bar representatives would leave no stone unturned for the welfare of lawyers’ fraternity. The Chief Justice stressed the members of SCBAP to work for the betterment of every lawyer without any discrimination.

He viewed that all the newly elected members of the bar must be fully aware of their responsibilities and would also work diligently for disposing of their duties.

Stressing upon the need of justice, the CJ stated that no society could flourish without practicing justice in daily life.
