Judgment text as reported

National Highway Authority VS Ghulam Ali arts. 3, 10-a & 24---Elimination of exploitation ---State's duty to protect citizens---Protection of property rights---Right to fair trial---State institutions not to hide behind technicalities---State institutions must ensure fulfillment of obligations in line with principles of substantial justice rather than procedural technicalities---article 3 of the Constitution of Pakistan relates to elimination of exploitation of citizens of Pakistan---From the bare perusal of the said article, it can safely be observed that State run institutions, working in a representative form, are not expected to exploit the vulnerability of citizens---Undeniably, State is like a mother and its primary duty is to protect the rights of its children (citizens of Pakistan)---In addition to above, High Court emphasized upon importance of art.24 of the Constitution which deals with protection of property rights---Fundamental rights were a crucial aspect of State's role in protecting its citizens---The High Court observed that substantial justice should not be ignored as it is a key principle of a fair and just society---This principle was held to be fundamental to ensuring that the law was applied fairly and that people's right were respected---It goes hand-in-hand with the right to fair trial (as mentioned in art.10-a of the Constitution), where the goal is not just to follow procedures but to achieve just outcomes.
