Judgment text as reported

YASMIN JANG VS ADVOCATE GENERAL, PUNJAB S. 29---advocate General, consent of---Object, purpose and scope---advocate General is the highest law officer at the level of Province, who is virtually interested in the purity of administration of justice and preserving dignity of courts---With such presumption in mind and also that swift dispensation of justice is one of the essential elements of a fair trial, which gets more importance when the matter is connected with the person and property of a mentally disordered person, the legislature has made it a condition of obtaining consent of advocate General in S.29 of Mental Health Ordinance, 2001---advocate General acts as a medium, to filter out cases which are found to be vexatious, malicious or motivated by personal vendetta and not in the interest of mentally disordered person, and also saves the Court time squandered in handling such type of case, so that the Court can conveniently focus on the serious issues.
