Gulf Today
|August 20, 2025
The National Judicial (Policy Making) Committee (NJPMC) has decided that the concerned judge must report any instance of external influence within 24 hours, with actions finalised within 14 days in this connection.
The NJPMC reaffirmed the necessity of establishing a comprehensive mechanism to ensure the production of detained persons before a magistrate within 24 hours of arrest, and also approved uniform timelines for disposing of various cases.
The 54th NJPMC meeting chaired by Chief Justice Yahya Afridi was attended by the chief justices of all high courts, while the Attorney General for Pakistan (AGP) participated in it on special invitation.
The committee reviewed the implementation status of decisions taken during its 53rd meeting and deliberated on key policy matters.
The NJPMC unanimously reiterated its commitment to strengthening institutional capacity, expediting access to justice, and ensuring efficient justice delivery. In this regard, the NJPMC emphasised the need for a structured mechanism, particularly in cases of enforced disappearances, to ensure detainees are presented before a magistrate within 24 hours.
