Judgment text as reported

Rehana Nazir VS District Police Officer, Gujrat Enforcement and implementation of laws---State functionaries, duty of---Law is not merely a formality, it is an obligation, a compulsion that ensures order and justice within society---Written statutes and regulations are more than ink on paper---Enforcement of a statute is not optional but a mandatory duty entrusted to every state functionary, a responsibility that comes with the authority and power vested in their positions---Such duty is not just about compliance rather it is about upholding rule of law---Failure to implement law results in grave violation of fundamental rights of those subject to it---When laws are not enforced, the vulnerable are left unshielded and their rights are trampled upon---When laws are not implemented, resulting in violation of rights of those whom law seeks to protect, the state functionaries responsible for such negligence must be held accountable---To turn a blind eye to breach of laws is to let the very foundation of justice crumble beneath our feet---Accountability must be order of the day, ensuring that those entrusted with power to enforce law do not shirk their responsibilities---Justice delayed is justice denied and every state functionary who fails to implement law is complicit in such denial.
