Justice Farrukh in the recent meeting of banking courts' judges had expressed his deep concern over non-posting of judges on vacant banking courts and had recommended the federal government to enhance house rent of the judges posted in banking courts up to Rs 50,000 per month.
The LHC registrar has nominated 10 district and sessions judges for their posting in courts number 1,3,4,5,6 and 7 of Lahore, courts number 1 and 3 of Multan, banking court 1 of Faisalabad and one court of Sahiwal. The federal government has been asked to establish at least two courts in Faisalabad and one court in Sialkot in order to minimize the backlog of cases.
To improve the existing infrastructure and preservation of judicial record, Justice Farrukh Khan had directed federal government to establish new record rooms with provision of fire proof cupboards, appoint the required number of court staff and renovate the courts and residences of presiding officers.
Direction was also issued to the federal government for appointment of a focal person not below the rank of deputy secretary to deal with the matters of Punjab banking courts.
