DCRs figs!
Just googled the number of outstanding cases in KPK courts(26194+146211 only in HC and DC, does not include civil, sessions courts). Some 800 cases solved out of that volume is indeed a revolution.
The existing legal system does have room for that kind of settlement. It's just that the state attorneys are not doing their job properly, otherwise out-of-court settlements are actually facilitated by the prosecutor, the world over. But that won't make 'news'.
