It is very unfortunate that the courts in Pakistan generally do not proceed with cases on dates when strikes are called off. There are at least two parties in a case. Similarly there are at least two lawyers in a case. There are multiple cases in a single court for hearing in one day. So all of the parties and their lawyers suffer because of adjournments on strike day.
Mechanism should be developed in a way that the Judges and Lawyers should both work on strike day so that the system of justice don't suffer at any cost. The judges may be forced to decide cases as per law even on strike dates.
Usually strikes effect lower judiciary only. There is no effect of strikes on the High Courts and Supreme Court. However, a fact is that the majority of litigation is in the lower courts. Hence it is best to bring change in the system.
