Punjab police has proposed to make domestic violence a non-bailable offence.
Suggested amendments in the Punjab Protection of Women against the Violence Act (PPWVA-2016) include a Rs 1 million fine for the perpetrators and declaring it as a non-bailable offence to ensure the support and protection of women’s rights against violence across Punjab.
A summary of this proposition has been moved by Inspector General of Police Punjab Dr Usman Anwar to Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz to place it before the provincial cabinet.
Dawn reports that senior Punjab police felt the need for amendments following the reports that most domestic violence suspects manage to escape police action and even punishment from the courts.
The report said that the FIRs get lodged on only six per cent of the total incidents.
“Unfortunately, there was no explicit penal provision declaring domestic violence as a cognisable offence hence the first information report was lodged in only 3,365 cases out of 59,798,” whereas in all other cases, the matter was treated as non-cognisable,” reads the summary.
In the majority of domestic violence cases, the matter was treated as non-cognisable when parties either reached an agreement or the victims did not pursue the criminal proceedings because of certain other reasons.
The IG police quoted in the forwarded summary that “the absence of a strict legal regime further fuels the aggressors who have a perpetual sense of going unpunished due to legal void.”
Shedding light on the main objective of the initiative, Dr Usman said the Punjab Protection of Women against Violence Act, 2016 was a significant legislation, but the effectiveness of VWPS and PPWVA has been hampered by a legal void, i.e., the absence of a penal clause specifically declaring domestic violence a cognisable offence.
“In such circumstances, there is a dire need to amend the relevant section of the said Act to ensure the support and protection of women against violence across the province of Punjab,” reads the Punjab Police summary.
Dawn quotes the legal amendment proposed in Section 21 of “The Punjab Protection of Women against Violence Act XVI of 2016”:
Section 21: (1) The court shall not take cognisance of an offence under this Act except on a complaint of the district women protection officer or a woman protection officer acting on behalf of the district women protection officer.
(2) The court shall conduct the trial of an offence under this Act in accordance with the provisions of Chapter XXII of the Code relating to the summary trials. Section 21-A: (1) (proposed) The offence of domestic violence shall be punished with imprisonment of three years or with a fine which may extend to Rs1 million or both. The offence shall be cognisable, bailable and compoundable.
(2) The court may take cognisance of the matter either on a police report u/s 173 Cr.PC or on a private complaint filed by the victim and try the offence summarily.
(3) If a person is punished under this Act and he commits the offence of domestic violence again, the offence shall be treated as non-bailable.
A special parliamentary committee has been established to elect the next Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mansoor Ali Shah after legal changes were made through the 26th constitutional amendment. The secretariat of the national assembly has also confirmed the committee’s formation through notification.

Mansoor Ali Shah
Justice Mansoor Ali Shah was born in Peshawar on November 28, 1962. He was educated in Lahore at Aitchison College. After completing his law degree from Punjab University, he became a law college instructor. This career move was fruitful as I rose the ranks to eventually become an additional judge of the Lahore High Court in the year 20 as Chief Justice of the Lahore High Court between 2016 and 2018.
He became a Supreme Court judge on February 7, 2018, after a brief period during which he could rise in charge levels. This same period was also fruitful for Justice Shah as he could participate in and manage many important cases, including the majority decision regarding reserved seats. He also became known for his 27 dispersed pages written regarding changes in NAB laws. His time has also been marked by his attempts to help construct arbitration forums and help foster judicial change in Pakistan.
Justice Yahya Afridi
Justice Yahya Afridi was born in Dera Ghazi Khan on January 23, 1965. Most of his early education was obtained at Aitchison College, Lahore. After that, he graduated from Government College, Lahore. Legal studies were continued with an LLM from Jesus College, Cambridge University. Legal practice commenced in 1990, and entry into the Supreme Court bar was achieved in 2004.
He has been involved in larger benches deciding significant issues, including the case of reserved seats and the Zulfikar Ali Bhutto presidential reference. He has also contributed dissenting notes in various significant judgments.
Justice Munib Akhtar was born on 14 December 1963. He received most of his early education at Govt College in Lahore. He then relocated to the United States and continued his studies at Princeton University. Justice Munib Akhtar entered the judiciary when he was appointed as an additional judge of the Sindh High Court in 2009. In 2011, he also got the substantive post.
Further, in 2018, he was promoted to Judge of the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The judge’s other critical duties included authoring articles that detailed Article 63-A of the Constitution of Pakistan.
‘Superstar,’ the much-awaited album by singer Bilal Saeed is out, and the buzz on the latest release from the song is already going high as ‘Misunderstood’ which is now up on YouTube on One Two Records. And with that message, it carries into being an empowering anthem as it calls for the listener to accept their weaknesses and stand above those battles.
On Instagram he wrote, “This goes out to all those who bear their struggles in silence, a gentle reminder that vulnerability is a mark of courage, not weakness. It’s okay to stumble, to feel the weight of the world, and to shed tears in the darkness. But remember, it’s also okay to rise once more.”
The music video for “Misunderstood” is directed by Abdullah Haris, with music by Alex Shahbaz and mixing by Bloodline Music. It beautifully captures the essence of the song’s theme, creating a visual experience that resonates with its emotional depth.
Earlier, Singer Bilal Saeed has released his anticipated single, ‘Been There, Done That,’ featuring Talha Anjum. The song is from his upcoming album, Superstar.
This is already making the buzz and shows how both of the artists have brought their variety to it, which is not going unnoticed.
Bilal Saeed has had associations with some really interesting melodies and heart-warming lines in his tracks, which have touched people’s hearts yet again. With “Been There, Done That,” he teams up his signature sound with Talha Anjum’s unique mix of rap and pop to create a track that resonates with both artists’ fan bases.
Currently, this track has been described as energetic, with great chemistry between Bilal and Talha, and it is one of the best tracks on the album. All this hype in the duo will bring light to their tremendous abilities and what is yet to be created.
Pakistan Cricket team read ball head coach Jason Gillespie has revealed his role in team selection.
During a press conference ahead of the final Test match between Pakistan and England, he was asked about his role in squad selection.
He said, “It’s not my place to talk about. I’m not a selector. I’m a ‘matchday strategist’ and head coach, but I would like to have more say in the selection process.”
After the recent Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) reshuffle, Test team captain Shan Masood and coach Jason Gillespie were no longer part of the selection process, and the authority was handed over to Aqib Javed, Azhar Ali, Aleem Dar, Asad Shafiq and Hasan Cheema.
The coach and captain now have to rely on the players that the selection committee sends to them. It remains to be seen how this change will affect the relationship between PCB and Jason Gillespie, who apparently took on the role with additional responsibilities.
During Jason Gillespie’s tenure, the team lost the home series to Bangladesh, which was outclassed by England in the first Test, and they registered their first win under his leadership in the second Test.

Earlier, Bollywood filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, maker of the biopic ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’, revealed that actor-comedian Kapil Sharma was his second choice if Diljit Dosanjh had declined the film.
In an episode of Kapil Sharma Imtiaz Ali’s , the cast and director of ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ discussed their experiences making the movie. Kapil Sharma shared that A.R. Rahman had called him for a role in the film, but Sharma couldn’t respond as he was out of town and still regrets it.
“I met Rahman sir one day, and he said, ‘I called you for Chamkila’. I think he wanted me to sing a song or something. I thought he was just sweet-talking with me.”
“I felt really bad,” the comedian said. “I cried the whole night because of it. It was unfortunate that we couldn’t speak to each other because we were overseas.”
Imtiaz Ali added that Rahman had also talked to him about Sharma’s singing. Ali informed Sharma that if Diljit didn’t take the role, Sharma would have been their next choice.
Ali said, “Rahman sir said to me, ‘I mentioned your singing as well.’ If Diljit couldn’t do this film, we only had one more choice, which was you.”
Random scrolling on Instagram sometimes lands you in the right spot. It happened with me when I saw Asad Monga’s post about having participated in the SCO Summit as a chef.
It was fascinating how he introduced himself as a boy from Karachi whose love for cooking weathered all the seasons of his life and took him to the corridors of power.
In his Instagram post, Asad shared his insights about Culinary Diplomacy and his experience at SCO in these words: “The SCO summit was a warm display of Pakistan’s efforts to welcome global leaders with our hospitality and show our willingness towards stronger regional ties and a better Pakistan. Maybe if we are to consistently soften our image on the global stage, the first foot forward is Culinary Diplomacy and Hospitality.”
Asad was summoned by the government of Pakistan to assist with the Dinner & Lunch service carried out for world leaders at the SCO summit in Islamabad. It was such a moment that he had to document it all on his account with a behind-the-scenes photo dump, giving credit to all those who helped him in the process.
Asad is otherwise known for culinary retreats to understand seasonality in Pakistan and explore the use of fresh produce to curate meals.

I sent him a message, and after a delay of some days, he replied. He was kind enough to actually explain to me the work environment of a kitchen, which he described as “an activity of trouble-shooting”. The reason behind this is that they are working with hands, and things are constantly changing as it involves too many variables, which one needs to keep in check, yet it is not something you cannot control. “We were doing a 15-16 hours shift in a day,” Asad told me.
His reasoning for making this a career left me in awe as he delineated that he decided to go for culinary arts as a subject to study for his undergrad because he wanted to do something with his hands. I did my A-levels from Karachi, and when everybody was deciding where to go for college, “I didn’t want to do a traditional degree, so I thought I wanted to do or learn something from my hands, and I wanted to have a skill-based profession. So I applied for culinary school, and I did a degree program in Kuala Lumpur and France,” Asad said, adding that he had completed his initial training and internships there as well. After his arrival back in Pakistan, he has been associated with different kitchens ever since 2011.
This got me to ask him how his experience of over a decade landed him this opportunity. To this, he replied that he was recommended by Okra- his previous place of work, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ministry reached out to him, and he put together a team to accompany him to Islamabad. In the capital, they collaborated with the team at Serena Hotel, where they prepared a nice mix of dishes, keeping in mind the sensitivities of global leaders.
With utmost modesty, Asad gave credit to his team, describing that it was “a full team effort,” as he was just a part of this big machinery, and he considers himself lucky to have been selected for this job.
Asad with the team at Islamabad’s Serena Hotel
Speaking about his team, Monga introduced me to two other chefs, one from Karachi and the other from Lahore. Ramsha is from Karachi, and she runs a restaurant called d.brew’d on I. I Chundrigarh road. Another team member was Rabia from Lahore, who runs a restaurant called For the Table. “My team helped me execute all the things to the level I wanted and our stakeholders were expecting of us”. Asad said emphatically.
Speaking on behalf of the team, he said, “We had a great time and had lots of learning, considering it was such a high-profile event. So many little things needed to be taken care of, which was a great information knowledge for us.”
Shedding light on his experience at the Serena Hotel, Asad recalled it as something that stood out for him in this journey. “What stood out for me was the team at Serena and how committed, professional and welcoming they were,” he mentioned exuberantly. He elaborated this by saying that this is usually not the case when you enter somebody else’s kitchen.

Famous chef Julia Child once said no matter what happens in the kitchen never apologize but most of all I was interested in knowing all the details from inside the kitchen so I asked Asad about the menu and all thay transpired in the kitchen.
The menu has a mix of some Pakistani food and some international food. About the spice content and the making of the dishes, he commented, “Of course, we had to keep in check all the sensibilities of the global leaders that were coming in.” He further added that he and his team kept a nice mix of dishes in the overall menu which required the spices to be kept at a “base level” which means neither high nor low but flavourful.
The food they made was a mix of some Pakistani, Asian and Western food. There were Mutton Chops and Keemay-walay Naan for Pakistanis and salmon to add a touch of Continental. Asad very interestingly pointed out how some indigenous dishes were recreated for the occasion. For example, they made a Dao Dao Soup, which is a Hunza special.
He recounted how the dessert was specially made, keeping in mind the time of the year, which is the fall season. It had stewed apples with peanut butter cream and some dehydrated apple flowers on top of the apple crumble. “This was a play on apple crumble,” he ingeniously pointed out. “It’s funny, this was the first dessert I ever made, and I got an opportunity to serve it on such a big platform,” he added further.
Last but not least, Asad Monga stressed how this experience changed his perspective on the people in the government. “You know, you always have a stereotypical image in your head about the people working in the government, and that was completely changed for me as I saw some really capable, hardworking, accountable, responsible people working for the foreign office and beyond. They had a very invested outlook and they were very keen because the image of Pakistan is on the line,” he emphasized while adding that this was his first experience of seeing things up close.
Praising his collaborators further, he said that they were really hospitable towards his team. “I was feeling happy and proud that these people were given the charge to execute this kind of function.”
Talking to him transported me to the world of Ratatouille, and I was no less than Linguini. Meanwhile, him having the calmness of Gusteau, the sharpness of Colette and the passion of Remy. It is such an enviable combination for a chef to have and all that a culinary artist aspires for.
Justice Yahya Afridi, who was nominated by a Special Parliamentary Committee (SPC) last night, is set to take oath as the next chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) on Saturday.
Following the passage of the 26th Amendment, the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) will now be “appointed on the recommendation of the Special Parliamentary Committee from amongst the three most senior” SC judges.
Previously, the president used to appoint the CJP based on the seniority principle, according to which Justice Mansoor Ali Shah would be the next CJP.
Since the new CJP is here, let’s take a look at some of his famous cases.
Some important decisions of Justice Yahya Afridi
In 2018, Justice Yahya Afridi was the head of the special bench in the treason case against the dictator Pervez Musharraf. However, he recused after some time after Musharraf’s lawyer objected to his inclusion, saying Justice Afridi was former chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry’s lawyer.
In 2020, Justice Yahya rejected Justice Qazi Faiz Isa’s plea against the infamous Presidential Reference against him, saying the fundamental rights of a sitting judge would remain eclipsed so far as their enforcement was not in consonance with the terms of his oath of office. However, he endorsed the quashment of reference by disposing of other petitions moved by a number of bar councils and bar associations.
In 2022, he supported the issuance of show cause notice to Imran Khan in the May 25 Long March case of Tehreek-e-Insaf when it was accused of allegedly flouting a May 25 order of the apex court that defined the limits for the party’s ‘Azadi March’ gathering in Islamabad and thereby committing contempt of court. A five-member SC bench, in a 4-1 split decision, instead sought a reply from Imran on the matter before deciding to issue him a notice.
In 2023, a five-judge bench, which included Justice Yahya, declared that the trial of civilians in the military courts was unconstitutional in May 9 cases.
In the Punjab/Khyber Pakhtunkhwa election case, the petitions were dismissed as pending in the High Court.
In April 2024, he also recused himself from the infamous six IHC judges’ letter to the Supreme Judicial Council case.
In the reserved seat case of SIC-PTI, he supported the position of Tehreek-e-Insaaf by giving a similar position as the other 8 judges on the bench but opposed it due to some other legal issues. And he also wrote his dissenting note in the decision related to the case.
Justice Yahya Afridi was also part of the 9-member larger bench of the Supreme Court on the presidential reference against the execution of former Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.
Justice Yahya Afridi declined to join the three-member judges committee of the Supreme Court Practice and Procedure Ordinance 2024.
