37.1Dismantling Executive Interference in Judicial Appointments
The executive branch frequently manipulates the appointment of judges, ensuring that only state-compliant, compromised individuals reach the Supreme Court to protect elite interests. Takweyat will file sweeping constitutional challenges to strip the government of its power to appoint judges. We will legally mandate the creation of a completely independent, transparent judicial commission composed of civil society, senior bar members, and academia.
37.2Abolishing the Abuse of "Contempt of Court" Laws
Judges routinely weaponize archaic "Contempt of Court" laws to arrest journalists and citizens who legitimately criticize corrupt judgments, effectively shielding the judiciary from all public accountability. We will aggressively litigate to strike down broad contempt laws. We will establish the legal precedent that while disrupting a courtroom is punishable, analyzing and severely criticizing a written judicial verdict is a protected democratic right.
37.3Mandating the Public Livestreaming of All High-Court Proceedings
Justice must not only be done, it must be seen to be done. Behind closed doors, powerful lawyers and corrupt state prosecutors manipulate proceedings out of the public eye. Takweyat will file public interest litigations to legally mandate the live, unedited video broadcasting of all High Court and Supreme Court hearings. This absolute transparency will force judges and lawyers to act with impeccable integrity under the gaze of millions.
37.4Breaking the Elite Monopoly on the Legal Profession
The legal profession is dominated by elite dynasties, with exorbitant bar association fees and nepotistic networking shutting out brilliant, working-class law graduates. We will legally challenge the exclusionary practices of national bar councils. Takweyat will advocate for heavily subsidized bar exams, transparent merit-based chamber placements, and the complete eradication of nepotism in the awarding of senior advocate statuses.
37.5Reforming the Corrupt System of Bench Allocation
Chief Justices often manipulate the roster, assigning politically sensitive cases to specific, pliant judges to guarantee a ruling in favor of the state or military establishment. We will file supreme court petitions demanding algorithmic, randomized bench allocations. We will legally force the judiciary to eliminate human interference in case assignments, ensuring that no chief justice can act as a gatekeeper for political masters.
37.6Eradicating Procedural Delays and Adjournments
The judicial process is deliberately weaponized through endless adjournments, keeping innocent people in jail for decades and bankrupting the poor through endless lawyer fees. Takweyat will draft and strictly enforce procedural reforms. We will legally mandate strict, non-negotiable time limits for the conclusion of civil and criminal trials, financially penalizing judges and lawyers who intentionally stall cases for extortion or political leverage.
37.7Protecting Judges from State Blackmail and Coercion
Intelligence agencies frequently utilize illegal surveillance, blackmail regarding family members, and physical threats to coerce judges into delivering state-mandated verdicts. We will establish a highly secure, anonymous reporting mechanism for judges facing state extortion. Takweyat will aggressively prosecute intelligence officials who threaten the judiciary, providing threatened judges with elite, independent physical security details to ensure fearless rulings.
37.8Modernizing Archaic Colonial Evidence Laws
Many nations still rely on 19th-century colonial evidence acts that fail to adequately recognize digital forensics, DNA, or satellite imagery, resulting in criminals walking free due to technicalities. We will lead a comprehensive legislative overhaul of the Evidence Act. We will legally integrate modern scientific and digital standards into courtroom procedure, ensuring that justice is driven by irrefutable science rather than easily manipulated witness testimonies.
37.9Eliminating the Culture of VVIP Court Treatment
Wealthy politicians and billionaires are granted immediate, after-hours hearings and instant bail, while impoverished citizens languish in jail for years waiting for a single hearing date. Takweyat will file massive constitutional challenges against this blatant violation of equal protection. We will legally force the courts to process all cases strictly in the order they are filed, entirely blind to the wealth or political status of the plaintiff.
37.10Democratizing the Language of the Courts
High courts operate exclusively in complex English, completely alienating the vast majority of the population who cannot understand the proceedings determining their fate. We will legally mandate that all court proceedings, verdicts, and legal documents must be instantly translated and made available in Urdu and prominent regional languages. We will break the linguistic barrier that keeps the common citizen intimidated and dependent on elite lawyers.
