SRINAGAR, July 9: In order to reach out the Judicial Officers posted in remote areas of the State, a training programme for Sub-Judges and Munsiffs of Baramulla, Bandipora and Kupwara districts was organized at Baramulla.
The programme was conducted by Abdul Wahid, Director State Judicial Academy along with Syed Javed Ahmed, faculty member of the Academy, under the guidance and patronage of Justice M M Kumar, Chief Justice and Justice Mansoor Ahmad Mir, Judge Incharge, State Judicial Academy.
“Ethics and Judicial Conduct”, “Code of Civil Procedure” and “Injunction, Receiver and Execution” were the topics for discussion.
Justice Hasnain Massodi acted as resource person in the training programme. He explained in detail the Judicial ethics and standard to be observed by the Judicial Officers.
“Every judge has to imbibe ethical values. He has to follow the ethics both in private and public life and live like a hermit. The society places judges at the highest pedestal thus the judges have corresponding responsibility to observe highest ethical values”, Justice Massodi said, adding “a judge by nature of his duty is not expected socializing too much with individual lawyers and other persons in the society”.
He also addressed the Judicial Officers on procedural aspects of the civil matters and grant or refusal of injunction. “Rules of procedure are meant to advance the cause of justice and not to impede it. The procedural law is as important as substantive law. The delays in disposal of cases can be removed by following strictly the procedural law”, he further said.
Justice Massodi also explained in detail the concept of temporary injunction issued under Order 39 CPC and stressed upon the Judicial Officers to decide the interlocutory applications within 30 days as mandated by law, while discretion should be exercised judiciously on the well set principles governing the grant or refusal of injunctions.
Later, there was lively interaction in which almost all the Judicial Officers participated and lot of misconception and doubts about procedural aspects of the cases particularly injunction matter were removed.
