Admin horns
It is with great alarm that we the ordinary public note the efforts of the Admin cadres to get back some judicial powers. It is only natural that these relics of our colonial past will try every means to regain their undue perks and privileges bestowed on them by the British Raj and later on by the Pakistani occupiers. The colonial rulers needed a compliant and subservient group whose loyalty was to their masters rather than the public. We need people-friendly administrators who consider themselves public servants, rather than masters of the public.
Let us hope that the government will move with the times and not yield to arm twisting by the entrenched vested group.
Let us also hope that if the worst comes to worst, the highest court of the land will not allow the principle of separation of the judiciary to be diluted by the covetous grasp of the executive.
