Human Rights Committe Punjab Bar Council

02/10/2026

The Human Rights Committee, Punjab Bar Council, expresses concern over the review judgment in the Usman Shahid vs Nadia Sarwar case.

While respecting judicial independence, the Committee considers it important that the interpretation and application of laws protecting dignity, equality and freedom from harassment remain consistent with constitutional guarantees and effective access to justice.

The Committee is examining the judgment and its broader implications for fundamental rights.

“Bias is one of the most important tools in a criminal defence lawyer’s toolkit—not only for testing the truthfulness, credibility and reliability of prosecution witnesses, but also for identifying and exposing bias, prejudice or conflict of interest wherever it may arise in the criminal justice process, including in the conduct of prosecutors and, where legally permissible, in the impartiality of judicial decision-making. To deprive an accused on trial of the legal means to examine and challenge such bias is to rip the soul out of the criminal justice system. A trial in which the defence is denied the tools necessary to test the evidence, expose prejudice and challenge partiality cannot be a genuinely fair trial.”
