LAHORE:

The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday rejected a request seeking the immediate suspension of the enforcement of the Kite Flying Act 2025 and directed the concerned parties to present detailed arguments in the matter.

The court adjourned further proceedings until January 16.

Justice Malik Muhammad Awais Khalid heard the petition filed by the Judicial Activism Panel challenging the constitutionality of the recently enacted law.

During the hearing, Advocate Azhar Siddique, appearing on behalf of the petitioner, argued that the Kite Flying Act 2025 was in violation of the fundamental principles enshrined in the Constitution.

He contended that kite flying is a hazardous activity that has resulted in fatal accidents in the past, posing serious threats to public safety.
