150th celebrations: ‘Judicial norms vital to uphold supremacy of law’

BAHAWALPUR: The sesquicentennial celebrations of the Lahore High Court (LHC) are aimed at reviving and strengthening the traditions of administering justice to the common people by adhering to the highest values of judicial norms and practices, this was said by district and sessions judge, Rehan Bashir.

“These judicial norms are vital to uphold the supremacy of law and to establish a rule based polity to ensure the establishment of peaceful and developed society,” he was addressing at a judicial conference which took place at the auditorium of Quaid-e-Azam Medical College Bahawalpur on Sunday.

The chief guest further said the guiding principles of the supremacy of law are enshrined both in Islam and the constitution of Pakistan. “The Uswa-e-Hasanah is the unprecedented and shining example of promoting the rule of law for the whole humanity,” he maintained.

“The sense of deprivation and socio-cultural deviation is present in those societies which do not adhere to the supremacy of law and constitution.”
