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

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".
