**Interview with Legal Expert Dr. Sarah Malik on Supreme Judicial Council’s Recent Decisions**
**Interviewer:** Welcome, Dr. Malik. Thank you for joining us today to discuss the recent decisions made by the Supreme Judicial Council regarding complaints against judges.
**Dr. Malik:** Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to be here.
**Interviewer:** The Supreme Judicial Council recently rejected ten complaints against judges due to insufficient evidence. What are your thoughts on this outcome?
**Dr. Malik:** It’s a significant development. The Council’s decision to dismiss those complaints highlights the importance of evidence in judicial proceedings. Upholding the integrity of judges is crucial, and dismissing baseless complaints helps maintain that integrity.
**Interviewer:** The Council also agreed to widen the scope of consultation regarding the letter from six judges of the Islamabad High Court. What do you think this means for the judiciary?
**Dr. Malik:** Expanding the scope of consultation indicates a willingness to engage in dialogue and consider different perspectives, which is essential for the functioning of a healthy judiciary. It suggests that the Council is taking the concerns raised by these judges seriously and is open to further discussion.
**Interviewer:** The statement mentioned that legal action might be taken against those who filed the complaints. How do you view this approach?
**Dr. Malik:** This is a crucial step in deterring frivolous complaints that can undermine the judicial process. When complaints are not substantiated, taking legal action against the complainants can serve as a warning to others who might consider abusing the system.
**Interviewer:** what implications do you foresee from the discussions surrounding the letter of the six judges in future meetings?
**Dr. Malik:** Those discussions could lead to significant reform in the judiciary or a clearer understanding of the challenges that judges face. It may also enhance transparency and accountability, ultimately strengthening public trust in the legal system.
