Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD RAZZAQ VS SURAYYA BIBI ars. 10-a, 14, 4 & 9---Right to fair trial---Inviolability of dignity of man---Right of individuals to be dealt in accordance with law, etcetera---Security of person---Reasons for decision---Scope---While arts. 4, 9 & 10-a of the Constitution are enough to provide a foothold to the concept of provision of reasons in judicial, quasi-judicial and even administrative orders and decisions, art. 14 of the Constitution, which speaks about the right to dignity, may also be compromised if reasons are not forthcoming in a decision or an order---article 14 of the Constitution provides for protection of dignity and in case an order or a decision is passed without reasons then the said article may also be invoked to attack such an order or a decision on the basis that the order or decision so passed treats and addresses a living person as an object or a non-living thing---Therefore, and arguably, the right to reasons may also be premised as a concomitant right of the right to dignity---Such is indeed arbitrary and condescending to have a persons' status redefined without an adequate explanation of reasons for such change.
