Judgment text as reported

SUNNI ITTEHAD COUNCIL VS FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN Written Constitution---Object, purpose and scope---Written Constitution is an organic document designed and intended to cater needs for all times to come---Such Constitution is like a living tree, it grows and blossoms with the passage of time in order to keep pace with the growth of the country and its people---Approach, while interpreting a Constitutional provision, should be dynamic, progressive and oriented with desire to meet a situation or suppress a mischief, which has arisen effectively---Interpretation cannot be narrow and pedantic but Court's effort should be to construe the same broadly, so that it may be able to meet requirements of an ever changing society---General words cannot be construed in isolation but the same are to be construed in the context in which they are employed and their colour and contents are derived from their context.
