VS arts. 16, 17(2), 19 & 188---Judgment passed by the Supreme Court in respect of Islamabad-Rawalpindi sit-in protest/dharna by members of a religious political party ('the Judgment')---Review petitions challenging said Judgment not fixed for hearing for almost five years---Manipulation in the Supreme Court---In the present case, review petitions and applications were filed in early 2019 but were not fixed for several years---In the interim the other signatory to the Judgment retired---Concerned officers of the Supreme Court submitted a report in this regard---Perusal of said report showed the manipulation resorted to in the Supreme Court by not fixing the review petitions and applications---To set an example for others to follow, the Supreme Court acknowledged the manipulation resorted to in the Supreme Court by not fixing the said petitions and applications---Supreme Court observed that it endeavoured to regain the confidence of the people by acknowledging this, and would be demonstrating that the mistakes of the past will not be repeated; that lack of trust in public institutions engendered autocracy and threatened democracy, and that if individuals began to overshadow the institutions they worked in, they caused irreparable harm, diminished their institution, and rendered them as their alter ego.
