Supreme Court’s Senior Puisne Judge Justice Qazi Faez Isa Monday reassured the nation by highlighting the apex court judges' resolve to respect the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in order to safeguard democratic and constitutional norms in the country.

"Let me assure you on behalf of my institution that the apex court stands with this holy document of the Constitution," he stated at a convention to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of the 1973 Constitution.

He said they have the benefits of the Constitution after the blessings of Allah Almighty, and it is recognized by all of them.

He stated that the Constitution had been passed unanimously by the elected representatives at that time, with no negative votes except for four absentees.

He urged everyone to acknowledge and understand the sacred document of the Constitution, and to implement it in its true spirit. He also shared details about his induction as a judge of the Balochistan High Court (BHC) and highlighted the contributions of his late father, Qazi Muhammad Isa, who was a leader of the Pakistan Movement.

The bureaucracy, judiciary, and Parliament existed to serve and facilitate the people. The judiciary had the responsibility to decide cases in accordance with the Constitution, while the bureaucracy must implement laws that were beneficial for the people, and the Parliament should enact legislation for the welfare of the people.

He emphasized that the Constitution guaranteed fundamental rights to the people, and it was distinct due to the articles related to the right to information, freedom of the press, and other important rights. The Constitution had given unprecedented power to the people, he added.

He further stated: “I shall protect and defend the Constitution of Pakistan. As a judge, I will decide cases on their merit, and there will be no favor or opposition to anyone.”

He also lauded the Prime Minister for declaring April 10th as the Day of the Constitution.
