Pak Chief Justice receives International Jurists Award

      Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and Indian Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav have been awarded the prestigious International Jurists Award 2012. Justice Chaudhry received the award from Lord Phillips, President of the Supreme Court of the UK, for his "unique and tremendous contribution in the field of administration of justice and for the tireless and fearless endeavours towards administration of justice in Pakistan against all odds", reports The News. Yadav was selected for the award for his unflinching "contribution to the advancement of the bar and the bench." Yadav was, however, not present to receive the award. In a brief statement, Justice Chaudhry said, "I accept this award with profound gratitude on behalf of the Judiciary of Pakistan and the people of Pakistan who had struggled for the independence of Judiciary." President of the International Council of Jurists, Senior Advocate Adish C Aggarwala called upon Jurists from all over the world to stand united and make a "sincere effort to bring about reforms and accountability in the system of administration of justice".
