PESHAWAR: Chief Justice of Pakistan Nasirul Mulk on Thurdsay announced to convene a meeting of judges of all high courts in the country to speed up trials of those on death row pending before anti-terrorism courts.

The decision comes a day after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif decided to lift a ban on death penalty in terrorism cases.

Speaking to lawyers of the Peshawar High Court, many of whom have lost loved ones in the attack on an army-run school in Peshawar, the CJP offered prayers for the departed souls and injured students.

“The attack on the Army Public School is a national tragedy,” he said.

“Peshawar is like my own home, upon hearing the news, I had to visit the city and meet the wounded,” he said.

PA should take matters in their hand, they should make special military courts to deal with these rented terrorist directly. Screw civil courts, who have always failed to deliver justice.
