Judgment text as reported

AINA HAYA VS PRINCIPAL PESHAWAR MODEL GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL-I, PESHAWAR Compassion and hardship cases---Judges are to decide disputes before them in accordance with the Constitution and the law and not on the basis of their whims, likes and dislikes or personal feelings or mere humanitarian grounds---While justice is tempered with mercy but not at the expense of overriding the clear letter of the law---Compassion and hardship, therefore, may be considered by courts for providing relief to an aggrieved person, but only when there is scope in the relevant law to do so, not in breach of the law.
