It's time that everyone should forget their differences and contribute to peace: CJ

QUETTA (92 News) - Chief Justice Umar Atta Bandial has said that it is time that everyone should forget their differences and contribute to peace while the country's situation is before all people.

Addressing a ceremony on Monday, he said that the destiny of nations is not determined by judicial decisions, but by their leadership. "There should be supremacy of law in the country. However, misconduct and disorder are seen in the subordinate courts," he observed.
