“I Too Want To Build A Dam ; A Dam Against Fake Cases, Against Pending Cases”: Twitter Community Welcomes Justice Khosa
As the nation bids farewell to Chief Justice Saqib Nisar and his memorable, legendary era, Chief Justice-designate Asif Saeed Khosa’s bold statements have inspired new hope. Touching significant and necessary aspects, Justice Khosa said that he wants to build a dam as well, but that dam will be built against fake and pending cases. Justice Khosa said that all efforts will be made to strengthen the institution and quick disposal of justice.
He added that army and intelligence agencies should not interfere in civilian matters. He added that top court will use suo moto sparingly, on matters of great national importance only.
“The authority to take suo motu action will only be used sparingly and for significant national matters,” – he said. He also added that the top court would set up parameters for suo motu powers.
Hailing the contributions of the outgoing Chief Justice, Justice Khosa said that Saqib Nisar faced many challenges, political and societal in nature, and headed the judiciary in “very difficult circumstances”. He said that Nisar’s humanitarian efforts will be remembered.

However, he said that supremacy of a civilian institution should not be undermined and no other factors will be allowed to influence the judicial processes.
“When has the judiciary interfered in other institutions? A legislative body’s work pertains to enforcing the law and not raising development funds. Transfers and postings also do not fall under our jurisdiction.”
Speaking on the missing persons issue, Justice Khosa said that it is time to call spade a spade and should not repeat mistakes of the past. He said that he has Baloch blood in his veins and he will fight for their rights till the last breath.
Justice Khosa’s address at full court reference for CJP has inspired new hope in people, who look forward to seeing an era of exemplary justice and judicial reforms. Here is how the people are welcoming him:

CJ #SaqibNisar leaves behind a legacy of sharply contrasting highs&lows. Had the audacity to take on the politically entrenched & the religious right, but lacked the tenacity for judicial reform & improved dispensation. We look towards #AsifSaeedKhosa as the calm after the storm.

Dear Justice Khosa.
We are not related and I've never met you. But since we have the same last name, I just want to say…khandan ki izzat rakh lena please. No Mario Puzo stuff, ok?
Regards.

Referring to Justice Nisar's efforts to raise donations to build the Diamer-Bhasha dams, Justice Khosa said that he too "will build a dam against fake cases, pending cases." a true dude #respect

Justice Khosa said Justice Nisar had once said 1 of his ambitions in life was to build dams – in that vein Justice Khosa said that he too would like to build "some dams": against unnecessary delays in cases, against frivolous litigation, against fake witnesses & false testimonies

"Let us also discuss, without mincing words or feeling shy, the role of the armed forces and the intelligence agencies in the governance paradigm." — Justice Khosa

There are also some issues of public importance with reference to enforcement of fundamental rights of the citizens which have hitherto remained unattended and an effort shall be made to attend to those issues in all earnestness within the shortest possible time: Justice Khosa

Remembering the time when Saqib Nisar was not chief justice, and as judge, he questioned suo motu powers of the Supreme Court. Promising words from Justice Khosa indeed, but let's hope he keeps this promise and power does not go to his head like it did with Baba Rehmat. https://t.co/jU1KxH8ZIG

1.9 million backlog court cases, the highest in Pakistan. Justice Khosa faced with the herculean task of clearing the country’s largest backlog of court cases. In last two years, SC remained fixated on fixing politics & sending Nawaz Sharif to jail https://t.co/MmTcJ0T44O

De-politicizing the judiciary, the biggest challenge for Justice Khosa

CJ #SaqibNisar is retiring today after a successful tenure, as judicial outreach was systematically utilized to secure human rights. Justice Khosa is coming with huge reputation of most competent & morally correct judge. Let's wish him best of luck to prove equal to task ahead.
