These are the remnants of the old system of MR decades. It will take time to clean up 100 %. Sahabdeen too should be tried for the malpractice! That will be the process of cleansing!

You should see how in outstation courts, lawyers and magistrates/judges gang up to prolong cases to milk litigants dry, subvert justice due to bribes and deny people their judicial rights. Pls CJ president and prime minister, urgently initiate a clean-up of our judiciary and legal system
