Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD SHAHID YOUSAF VS State S.344---Power to postpone or adjourn proceedings---Imposition of costs---Scope---While interpreting a provision of law, approach is to be dynamic, purposive and meaningful, while also keeping in view of prevailing circumstances, need of the time, challenges being faced and to be faced in future and of administration of justice, therefore, words "on such terms" used in S.344 of Cr.P.C. are not without any significance and can be safely interpreted as including power/authority to impose costs while granting adjournment and such power may be considered as inherent in the Court for safe administration of justice, otherwise, aforementioned words would become redundant; it goes without saying that such interpretation will enhance the cause of justice, minimize unnecessary adjournments and save the system of administration of justice.
