Judgment text as reported

EMPLOYEES OLD-AGE BENEFITS INSTITUTION, LAHORE VS MUHAMMAD RAFIQUE Beneficial legislation---Scope---Social welfare and beneficial statutes must be construed liberally so as to advance remedy and suppress mischief sought to be remedied---Courts are, therefore, under a Constitutional and legal duty to adopt a purposive, pragmatic, and equitable interpretation which safeguards rights and legitimate expectations of individuals for whose benefit the statute has been enacted---In appropriate cases, interpretative role of Court becomes essential to prevent irreparable loss, undue hardship, and injustice that may otherwise ensue from a rigid, literal, or technical application of the law.
