Islamabad, May 25, 2026 — The Supreme Court of Pakistan has reiterated its firm commitment to safeguarding fundamental rights and personal liberty, emphasizing the equitable principle that justice delayed is justice denied. In line with this constitutional obligation, the Court continues to give highest priority to the prompt hearing and disposal of bail before arrest and post-arrest bail matters.
According to an official statement, bail cases are being fixed strictly in accordance with the fixation policy of the Supreme Court, ensuring transparency, efficiency, and timely adjudication. The Court confirmed that all bail-related matters at the Islamabad Principal Seat stand fully disposed of, with no pending unfixed cases.

Of these, 109 matters were listed before the bench headed by Hon’ble Justice Malik Shahzad Ahmad Khan, underscoring the Court’s continued emphasis on the expeditious resolution of bail cases.
The Supreme Court reaffirmed that the protection of personal liberty remains a foundational constitutional mandate—one that necessitates timely hearings, swift adjudication, and vigilant enforcement to ensure that justice is neither delayed nor denied.
