"It is said that woes for the litigants in this country start once they are able to obtain a decree in their favour and are unable to execute and reap its fruits for years together.."

Supreme Court reiterates its mandatory direction requiring the execution proceedings to be completed within six months from the date of filing.

Now our question to practicing lawyers: In your knowledge, which is the oldest Execution Petition which is still pending ?

Namibia rejects Germany’s Support of the Genocidal Intent of the Racist Israeli State against Innocent Civilians in Gaza

On Namibian soil, #Germany committed the first genocide of the 20th century in 1904-1908, in which tens of thousands of innocent Namibians died in the most inhumane and brutal conditions. The German Government is yet to fully atone for the genocide it committed on Namibian soil. Therefore, in light of Germany’s inability to draw lessons from its horrific history, President @hagegeingob expresses deep concern with the shocking decision communicated by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany yesterday, 12 January 2024, in which it rejected the morally upright indictment brought forward by South Africa before the #InternationalCourtofJustice that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in #Gaza.

Worryingly, ignoring the violent deaths of over 23 000 Palestinians in Gaza and various United Nations reports disturbingly highlighting the internal displacement of 85% of civilians in Gaza amid acute shortages of food and essential services, the German Government has chosen to defend in the International Court of Justice the genocidal and gruesome acts of the Israeli Government against innocent civilians in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

Germany cannot morally express commitment to the United Nations Convention against genocide, including atonement for the genocide in Namibia, whilst supporting the equivalent of a holocaust and genocide in Gaza. Various international organizations, such as Human Rights Watch have chillingly concluded that Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza.

President Geingob reiterates his call made on 31 December 2023, “No peace-loving human being can ignore the carnage waged against Palestinians in Gaza”. In that vein, President Geingob appeals to the German Government to reconsider its untimely decision to intervene as a third-party in defence and support of the genocidal acts of Israel before the International Court of Justice.

One rookie mistake I used to make very early in practice was to not think about how to compress the entire narration of the story of my client, his grievance or his defence, in a few short lines.

Because that is all that the judge is going to allow you on most days.

A few short lines.

If the most important aspects of the case don't come out, often the judge will lose attention, or worse, detract you from your arguments and take you to some other part of your brief.

The judge is not bad.

He is dealing with 50 to 100 cases every day.

If you do not speak the language of the court, if your starting words do not sound familiar to the judge, you drastically lower your chances of success.

To illustrate:

Recently a young lawyer I know, made the following submissions before the Delhi High Court:

"My Lord, I have filed the present bail application under Section 439 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Petitioner was arrested on -.-.2023. The Sessions Court dismissed the bail application on -.-.2023........"

Thankfully for the lawyer, the Hon’ble Judge was kind, interrupted him, and passed order issuing notice.

After the hearing, as practice for future hearings, I helped him re-formulate the submission to the most crucial aspects, that too in language familiar to the Court.

"My Lord, I am seeking regular bail. I'm in custody since _ days. All the co-accused are now out on bail, even those who had a more severe role than me."

Once you get a strong start, the court will give you more time to argue. And will be more inclined to grant you relief.

I must admit, though I have improved, I still struggle with this challenge daily myself, despite running around in courts for the past 10 years.

But I keep trying to work on my advocacy skills, and to get better bit by bit.

بارشیں اور سیلاب کبھی ہزاروں انسان ہلاک نہیں کرتے۔ درنا، لیبیا میں بیس ہزار سے زائد ہلاکتوں کی وجہ ڈیمز کا ٹوٹنا تھا۔ یاد رکھیے ڈیمز چھوٹے سیلابوں کا راستہ روکتے ہیں مگر بڑے اور زیادہ تباہ کن سیلاب کی راہ ہم وار بھی کر دیتے ہیں۔
لیبیا کے یہ ڈیمز بہت چھوٹے تھے۔ اب ایک لمحے کے لیے پاکستان کے زلزلے کی پٹی میں بنائے گئے بڑے ڈیموں کا سوچیے۔ کسی ایک شدید مون سون یا زلزلے کا تصور کیجئے اور تباہی کا اندازہ لگائیے۔
ڈیمز پچھلی صدی کی چیزیں ہیں۔ اس صدی میں ڈیمز سے کہیں سستی بجلی ونڈ اور سولر سے حاصل کی جا رہی ہے۔ یورپ بھر میں ڈیمز ختم کر کے دریاؤں کو اب کی روانی لوٹائی جا رہی ہے۔
فطرت اور ماحول سے مطابقت کی زندگی ہی معیاری اور پرسکون زندگی ہے۔ دریاؤں کا راستہ روکنے والے دریاؤں کے رحم و کرم پر ہوتے ہیں۔
