Disobedience of court order imports obstruction to the judicial proceeding, it is recognized as an indirect contempt of court. Considered serious than the disruptive act to the judicial proceeding. This act of disobedience tends to subvert fairness or efficiency without the direct challenge of disruption1. The court is empowered to initiate the immediate proceeding against the disruptive act but in the course of the obstructive act, a plenary procedure is used to be initiated which is comparatively ineffective. It also draws an image of discrimination with regard to penalize the act of disobedience or contempt to an individual in comparison to a public servant for the same liability are inconsistently punished. Moreover, the act of disobedience committed by a public servant is a major cause of delay in adjudication and ensues sufferance for the litigant and also an adverse impact on the judiciary. The equity burdens, the equal treatment without any discrimination, for this the judges must have the power to detention the obstructor at once who offend against the court of law. And also empowered to deal summarily with the act and instantly to imprison the offender orderly without held a plenary trial. This paper suggests the act of disobedience committed by public servant be measured with the same scale by initiating a summary procedure.

To curb the menace of gas theft, law to prosecute gas offender is inadequate, ambiguous and flawed as well. The legal deficiencies of this law provide offenders and defendants a technical way to escape from toil rather squeeze against them by punitive measures. It should be reformed with introducing identical substantive and specific procedural provisions. Besides pilferers, the improper management of the gas company its self is the one of the causes of the loss to itself by like lack of checking of leakage, improper reading of meters, measuring errors, the shift of bulk sales to the retail sector with minimum billings. To own the deficiencies would open the way for bitterness with prompt future initiative. This article is an effort to expose the gaps lying in law by adopting legal analysis approach; an accepted form of a qualitative method

This study offers a comparative analysis of Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) 2012 and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 2023, examining their key provisions, compatibility with existing laws, and implications for data privacy. Both legislative frameworks prioritize the principles of consent, transparency, and security, reflecting their respective socio-economic and legal contexts.

Singapore's PDPA emphasizes flexibility and compliance across sectors, while India's DPDPA introduces comprehensive mechanisms, such as "privacy by design" and consent-based data processing, addressing the evolving challenges of digital ecosystems. This analysis highlights the strengths and challenges of each framework, providing valuable insights for Pakistan, which currently lacks a dedicated data protection law.

The study underscores the urgent need for Pakistan to adopt a data protection framework aligned with international standards, incorporating principles like consent, purpose limitation, transparency, and cross-border data safeguards. Recommendations include establishing a Data Protection Authority, integrating data protection with existing legal frameworks, and enhancing public and organizational awareness.

By learning from Singapore and India’s experiences, Pakistan can create a robust data protection regime that ensures individual privacy, fosters trust in the digital economy, and positions the nation as a responsible player in the global data ecosystem.

However, men have been made to look like monsters to women under the guise of misogyny. It has been asserted in 80% of the literature. Can a writer be such a pessimist? It is a misconception that only men can be misogynistic. In fact, a man as a father could be misogynistic, and a woman as a mother-in-law in some cases. It is a terminological conspiracy to cause a rift between the genders. Misogyny has no concern with religions, theological, patriarchal, or illiteracy, but can be a psychological issue with an individual under the influence of customs. Otherwise, both sexes possess an instinctively divine bond and unconditional love for each other. This is inductive research revolves around the question whether hate to women is not a gender discrimination but a social inclination under influences of customs and practice.

the financially downtrodden. Then, when they're in a bind and can't come up
with the cash, they turn to monygoons, where they're exploited if they can't pay
it back by taking increasingly drastic measures. An additional goal is to learn
the measures the court has taken to end the curse of interest. In order to find the
answer, the author examines a broad area of sources that include the Holy
Quran, the Bible, the Zabur, the Hadiths, the Pakistani constitution, statues, the
views of Islamic scholars, reports of the Council of Islamic Ideology, articles by
distinguished writers, and case law (judgments from the Supreme Court, High
courts, and Federal Shariah Courts) to explain to readers what the remedy for
society to get rid of this misery should be. This article exposes the evils of usury,
which prevail under the guise of its fickle nomenclature.
