Being staunch with Social Justice
Be staunch in justice, witnesses for Allah, even though it be against yourselves or your parents or your kindred, whether the case of a rich or poor man, for Allah is nearer unto both. So, follow the truth over passion. Social injustice’ is the perceived unfairness of a society in its divisions of rewards and burdens. Social justice arrives when there is an unequal distribution of wealth and other resources. A welfare state acquires equal distribution of wealth and resources. If we look at the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights, we can see that it resembles the last sermon of the Holy Prophet PBUH. The emphasis is put on the weak and social justice is preferred for the people. Are...
Making you believe in justice
Why do we believe in law? We believe in law because it provides us with justice. What justice does it give you? Equality equity and harmony prevail in a society when it has laws. It is difficult for a society to prevail without laws or its enforcement. We listen to people whining over the media channels that there is no justice for the poor. In some cases, or sometime before it was the case in Pakistan, and for so many reasons we didn’t pay any heed towards it. But the question arises is that are we ready for justice? When it comes to reporting cybercrimes or other crimes like a hit and run, harassment or our consumer rights, are we concerned with it are we acting as responsible citizens....
A Step ahead with Justice
WE must not be afraid of anything. It is essential for us to remain determined in our convictions. There is a great deal of hypocrisy, injustice, and foul play in the world, it is absurd to give us away by getting dominated by such acts. It will only cause us unhappiness. The Supreme law of Allah is without any falsehood. Therefore, one should devote itself to Him as He is the wisest possible existence. Aristotle says that knowledge is virtue and virtue is justice. He proved the idea through experiences. The truth turned into good experiences whereas, the false became bad experiences. The one who follows virtue will do justice to the society. The Kakakhel Law Associates firmly believe in...
PTI’s unhealthy habit of legislating through ordinances
On January 30, the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Bar Council conditionally called off a 23 day long strike being held in protest against an amendment to the Civil Procedure Code 1908 along with the enactment of a provincial anti-narcotics law. The strike was called off after the government deferred the proposed amendment through the K-P Civil Law Amendment Ordinance, 2020 till April 15. This decision, albeit a welcome one for the lawyers, should be enough to cause alarm for those who hold the parliamentary process in high esteem. One such individual who is concerned at the government’s constant promulgation of ordinances is Member National Assembly (MNA) Barrister Mohsin Nawaz Ranjha who...

The Murder of Innocence : Sexual Abuse of Children
Sexual abuse of children has been an ever-rising issue yet it is largely kept in stealth. The developed countries have had their war against it, now is the time for the developing countries to wage war against this menace. The most significant achievement against it was by The Boston Globe’s editor, Marty Boron, who assigned a team of investigative journalists to bring the culprits to justice. Powerful clerics like John Geoghan and other unfrocked pedophile priests of American Clergy were accused of sexually assaulting around 80 boys. However, in recent times, media and other pillars of the state, in developing countries like Pakistan seem to have initiated their own crusade against it....
Undoing a federation : Undoing 18th Amendment of the Constitution of Pakistan
MAY 12, 2020 Recent developments regarding undoing the 18th Amendment of the Constitution have stirred up a debate between the government and the opposition and caused disturbance among those governed. This is no ordinary question but is something about the long due autonomy to the provinces which was taken away by use of an iron hand by the military dictators, wanting a one-man show in the country. The questions regarding who will benefit from undoing the amendment remains unanswered and a silence prevails over the fact that it is not the provinces they want to clip wings of independent people who should decide who and how to be governed. Federations are formed by independent countries,...
