ISLAMABAD, July 24: Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President Sardar Masood Khan has appreciated the performance of the state Ombudsman’s secretariat for dispensing prompt and inexpensive justice to the people and protecting their rights.
He was talking to the AJK Ombudsman Zafar Hussain Mirza who called on him on Friday and presented the report of the performance of his institution for the year 2019 to the state president. While hailing the setting up of special implementation cell under the supervision of the ombudsman, the AJK president said that implementation of 80 percent pending judgments was a highly encouraging development and a proof of the excellent performance of the ombudsman.
“The appointments made by the ombudsman in his institution purely on merit and through a transparent process, are precedence for other institutions, and this is also a good omen that the AJK ombudsman’s institution had established its credibility on the national and the international levels during the last two years,” he added.
He said that in 2018, the AJK ombudsman hosted the 19th annual session of the Mohtasib Forum Pakistan which was attended by the Federal and Provincial Ombudsman from all over the country.
