MULTAN, Jul 10 (APP): Commissioner Multan Amir Kareem Khan on Friday ordered steps to strengthen the professional capacity of prosecutors and impart legal training to officers of government departments to improve quality of prosecution and ensure effective follow-up of official cases.
Presiding over a meeting of the divisional performance review committee, commissioner reviewed the performance of the prosecution department, pending Challans, trial progress and prosecution of cases.
Commissioner Khan said, legal awareness and training for officers of departments including Wildlife, Agriculture, Forests, Local Government and Environment were essential to strengthen official cases and remove deficiencies in investigation and prosecution.
He said the individual performance of prosecutors was being monitored, while district-wise data on FIRs, received Challans, partial and complete Challans, and pending Challans was being regularly evaluated.
He directed that the number of cases entering trial and those decided by courts should also be reported on a regular basis for effective monitoring.
The meeting also reviewed litigation involving government departments. Commissioner instructed officials to maintain separate data for government and private cases to facilitate better analysis and monitoring.
Amir Kareem Khan promised necessary logistical support to further improve prosecution department performance, adding that regular evaluation would encourage healthy competition among officers and enhance institutional efficiency.
He also directed that monthly prosecution performance meetings be held at the district level and stressed the need for stronger coordination between the district administration and the prosecution department.
Well-prepared prosecution and comprehensive legal documentation were key to the effective disposal of cases, he said and asked all departments to submit practical proposals for improving their working in the larger public interest.
