IHC issues detailed judgment against ban on indoor wedding ceremonies

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Islamabad High Court (IHC) in its detailed judgment rejecting the plea against the ban imposed on wedding ceremonies by the National Command and Operation Center (NCOC) remarked that the Court cannot interfere in the executive matters.

According to details, IHC on Wednesday issued a detailed eight pages judgment against the plea on ban imposed by the NCOC on marriages in banquets and remarked that the court cannot interfere in the decision taken by the NCOC.

In the judgment court remarked that the decision taken by the NCOC is in the benefit of the public, and to comply with the decisions is duty of every citizen.

Earlier IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah said in his remarks that deaths did not occur due to coronavirus but because of our irresponsible behavior. He said what happed in Gilgit-Baltistan during election campaign was discriminatory conduct as the poor were gathered in rallies amidst COVID-19.

Justice Athar Minallah said we lost a valuable chief justice due to this pandemic and nobody knows who will be the next victim of the virus. Prime Minister Imran Khan should set an example for others during these conditions, he remarked.

The IHC chief justice added that we have to trust the incumbent government and this court is also subject to the government decisions. The national institution has taken its decision and the court cannot question it under such uncommon time, Justice Athar Minallah said.
