July 6, 2021
LAHORE: Lahore High Court Chief Justice Muhammad Qasim Khan on Monday reached superannuation after serving the judiciary for over 11 years.
He was elevated to LHC on Feb 19, 2010. A full court reference was held to pay homage to the outgoing chief justice. All the judges working at the principal seat of Lahore, advocate general of Punjab, federal and provincial law officers attended the reference.
Later at a send off ceremony, Chief Justice-designate Muhammad Ameer Bhatti presented a bouquet to Justice Khan. Justice Bhatti would take oath as chief justice on Tuesday (today) at a ceremony to be held in Governor’s House.
LAHORE: Lahore High Court Chief Justice Muhammad Qasim Khan has directed the Punjab government to introduce public-private partnership and engage charitable personalities to facilitate the burial of the dead belonging to common families in a respectful manner.
He also directed the government to ensure that two model graveyards be established each in Faisalabad, Multan, Gujranwala and Rawalpindi divisions on the pattern of such facilities set up in Lahore city.
“To uphold the dignity of a dead person, it is the duty of state to ensure provision of an appropriate place for burial and this responsibility is either to be discharged by the state itself through its local government bodies or departments,” the chief justice observed in a verdict issued on a public interest petition regarding shortage of graveyards proportionate to the number of people residing in Lahore.
