Establishment
Mr. Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan, honourable the Chief Justice Peshawar High Court, Peshawar, being:
  • Cognizant of the facts that freedom, justice and peace cannot be achieved without respect of the inherent dignity and equal rights for all; and all violations of human rights compel human beings to resort to use of force against infrigemnt of their rights; and whereas rule of law cannot be protected without respect for human rights to promote social progress and better standards of life;
  • Conscious of constitutional responsibility of the state to ensure inexpensive and expeditious justice for promoting social justice and eradication of social evils so that the social and economic well being of the people is achieved;
  • Inspired by international resolve to protect the human rights;
  • Mindful of ever-increasing communications with particular reference to the allegations relating to non-performance or excessive-performance or wrong- performance of the functions by the Government functionaries under the Rules of Business resulting into violations of the human rights;
  • Desirous of directly addressing all the problems being faced by litigant public by doing away with all the hurdles in the way of provision of justice in the courts in the KPK,
The hon’ble Chief Justice has been pleased to establish the Human Rights Cell in the Peshawar High Court, Peshawar (Cell) for the achievement of the objectives:
  • to do all the acts required to ensure expeditious and inexpensive dispensation of justice in response to all the calls of the public at large in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa;
  • no complaint should go unheard;
  • everyone in the province should have the unflinching sense of ownership of the Peshawar High Court as an institution committed to serve them in furtherance of their rights and to stand up to all the eventualities  having slightest bearing touching infringement of their right;
  • all the available resources should be pressed into service without resorting to the conventional and protracted technicalities;
  • grievances should be redressed in a manner involving zero expenditure for the aggrieved;
  • to institutionalize an effective response to the communications of the people relating to infringements of their fundamental rights
