انصاف کا ترازو جو ہاتھ میں اُٹھا لے

اِنَّ اللّٰہَ یَاۡمُرُکُمۡ اَنۡ تُؤَدُّوا الۡاَمٰنٰتِ اِلٰۤی اَہۡلِہَا ۙ وَ اِذَا حَکَمۡتُمۡ بَیۡنَ النَّاسِ اَنۡ تَحۡکُمُوۡا بِالۡعَدۡل.

(Indeed Allah Commands you to return Trusts to their owners, and when You Judge between people; Judge with Fairness.) Alnisa-58

Any era, any society, any civilisation … A corrupt judiciary, marked by egregious decisions, has always cast the dark shadow over the pillars of justice, fabric of society and the very existence of the State. When those entrusted with upholding the law succumb to pressure, coercion, corruption and political wheeling dealing, the consequences reverberate with a chilling resonance. Horrendous decisions emanating from a compromised judiciary erode the public trust in the legal system; the yield many-a-times has been dire and murderous.

… Because …

The skewed dispensation of justice, driven by ulterior motives, undermines the principles of fairness, equality, and accountability، above all is the explicit violation of Allah’s Commandments. Such a betrayal of the judicial mandate perpetuates injustice, corroding the foundational values upon which a just and civilised society could thrive …

Invariably injustice leaves behind a trail of societal disquiet and a compromised pursuit of truth and justice.

وہ دو جہاں کا مالک

سب حال جانتا ہے

نیکی اور بدی کے

احوال جانتا ہے

دنیا کے فیصلوں سے

مایوس جانے والا

ایسا نہ ہو کہ اُس کے دربار میں پکارے

ایسا نہ ہو کہ اُس کے انصاف کا ترازو

اک بار پھر سے تولے

مجرم کے ظلم کو بھی

منصف کی بھول کوبھی

اور اپنا فیصلہ دے

وہ فیصلہ کہ جس سے

یہ روح کانپ اُٹھے
