Judgment text as reported

Mst. ASMA NADEEM VS FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN art. 9---Security of person---Missing persons---Scope---Right to life is the most precious of all Fundamental Rights of the citizens protected by the Constitution and it is the duty of the State to ensure that such rights are protected (namely the practice of missing persons/enforced disappearance is put an end to) as Pakistan is a democratic country which is governed by the Constitution, which is also blended with Islamic provisions which absolutely prohibit such illegal actions---State was duty bound to protect its citizens---State has the power and ability to prevent such practices as missing persons/enforced disappearances and to pass appropriate legislation to such effect---High Court observed the onus rests on the Federal Government to put an end to such illegal practices which cause nothing but heartburn and misery to the citizens whose loved ones have gone missing in some cases for years on end---Such practice greatly undermine the rule of law and the people's confidence in the State to ensure their constitutional guarantees.
