Justice delayed is not justice denied when the law ultimately prevails.

Noor Mukadam Case
In May 2025, the Supreme Court upheld the death sentence of Zahir Jaffer for the murder of Noor Mukadam, rejecting his appeal and affirming the conviction in one of Pakistan’s most closely watched criminal cases.

βš–οΈ Motorway Gang R**e Case
The Lahore High Court has upheld the death sentences of Abid Malhi and Shafqat Bagga, dismissing their appeals in the 2020 Motorway gang r**e case that shocked the country and became a symbol of the demand for stronger protection of women.

βš–οΈ Sana Yousaf Murder Case
In the murder case of 17-year-old social media influencer Sana Yousaf, a court sentenced Umar Hayat to death. The verdict has been widely viewed as a strong message that violence against women and girls will face serious legal consequences.

These verdicts cannot undo the pain suffered by the victims and their families. However, they demonstrate that persistent investigation, prosecution, and judicial review can lead to accountability, even in cases that capture national attention.
