Dr. MUHAMMAD ASIF VS Dr. SANA SATTAR. Ss. 12, 17 & 25---Custody of minor---Participation of child in proceedings---Object, purpose, and scope---Child must be heard so that her/his best interests can be properly understood and protected---Participation of a child in legal proceedings is not a formality; it is fundamental to a justice system that respects the dignity and agency of the child---Listening to the voice of a child gives them a sense of worth, inclusion, and trust in the judicial process---Views of the child must be seriously considered, not merely acknowledged---Listening to a child does not mean obeying them, but rather understanding their perspective deeply enough to act in their best interests.
