CONCERN OVER MUM ON THE PLIGHT OF MEDIA WORKERS BY THE SCP
The Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists:- Supreme Body – FEC regretted that the Supreme Court of Pakistan and respective high courts took a number of cases for adjudication on its extraordinary powers of taking suo moto notice but took no notice to the hue and cry of the media persons who are moving from pillar to post to seek justice, viz-a-viz implementation of the 7thWage Award. Not only this the hierarchy of judiciary which claims that it had formulated a comprehensive judicial policy for providing speedy justice to the people and disposing of old cases within three months deadline but the media persons are disturbed why the case of the 7th wage award is pending in the courts for the last nine years and still lingering on and could not catch the sharp eye of the Chief Justice of Pakistan.
The Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists:- Supreme Body – FEC through another demand urged the Chief Justice of Pakistan to bring the labour courts, labour appellate tribunals, and Implementation Tribunal for Newspaper Employees, National Industrial Relations Commission, Authority appointed under the Payment of Wages Act under the thumb of judiciary on the pattern of banking, drug, customs, anti-corruption and consumer courts and Central Laws Courts.
