Fundamental rights in Pakistan

The Fundamental rights in Pakistan are indeed enshrined in the Constitution of Pakistan 1973. These rights are termed "fundamental" because they are considered vital for comprehensive development, covering material, intellectual, moral, and spiritual aspects, and are protected by the fundamental law of the land, i.e., the constitution. In the event of a violation of these rights, particularly the Fundamental Rights, the Supreme Court and the High Courts have the authority to issue writs under relevant articles to enforce and safeguard these fundamental rights.[1][2][3][4]

The Fundamental Rights in Pakistan are fundamental human freedoms that every Pakistani citizen is entitled thereto in order to ensure proper and harmonious development of their personality and life. These rights are applicable universally to all citizens of Pakistan, regardless of their race, place of birth, religion, caste, or gender.[5] They are legally enforceable through the courts, albeit subject to certain restrictions as defined by the law and the constitution.[1]
