By Advocate Mazhar Ali Khan In addition to its advantages, the challenges and risks of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in legal practice must be carefully considered. AI can reduce the role of humans in legal decision-making, risking the oversight of important emotional and moral nuances that are often crucial in complex cases. It may also produce erroneous predictions if the data it relies on is biased or unrepresentative. Furthermore, AI raises significant concerns regarding the protection of client data, given its dependence on sensitive electronic information. In the legal field, AI can be widely applied to assist lawyers in quickly finding…

By Abdul Rehman Patel The United States House of Representatives teeters on a knife-edge. With Republicans holding 220 seats—just two more than the 218 needed for a simple majority—the balance of power is precariously fragile, and every strategic move carries enormous weight. President Donald Trump has signaled that maintaining this narrow advantage is a top priority, setting the stage for a high-stakes contest in which political maneuvers are as decisive as the votes themselves. Nowhere is this more evident than in Texas, where the state legislature, leveraging its numerical strength, has pushed through a new congressional redistricting plan. On the…

The sentencing of former Lieutenant General Faiz Hamid to 14 years of rigorous imprisonment marks a moment of profound significance in Pakistan’s ongoing struggle to balance military influence with the rule of law. Confirmed by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the ruling, which will take effect from 11 December 2025, concluded a painstakingly detailed Field General Court Martial (FGCM) that spanned fifteen months and considered four distinct charges against Hamid. While the case’s contours may appear confined to the military establishment, its ramifications extend far beyond, touching upon the delicate equilibrium between Pakistan’s armed forces, the judiciary, and the civilian…

He claimed that students had been personally targeted and accused the administration of unlawfully granting supplementary exams to 15 second-year…

By Farhan Jumani Karachi, long infamous for its chaotic traffic, is now attempting to turn a new page. The recent installation of AI-driven cameras on major roads, paired with the e-challan system, marks the city’s most ambitious step yet toward a safer and more disciplined transport environment. Early indications suggest the measures are beginning to influence behavior: drivers are more conscious of speed limits, lane discipline, and helmet usage. The sight of motorcyclists and car drivers adhering more closely to traffic rules—once a rare occurrence—is now becoming noticeable, a sign that enforcement mechanisms are beginning to take hold. Yet, enforcement…

By Asghar Ali Mubarak Human rights, as a concept, are often treated as a modern invention, yet their essence has been deeply rooted in Islamic teachings for over fourteen centuries. The Quran and Sunnah enshrine the dignity, equality, and freedom of every individual, providing a framework that guarantees life, liberty, property, and education for all—Muslims and non-Muslims alike. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) proclaimed the principles of equality during the conquest of Mecca, he established a moral and legal foundation that resonates with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) adopted by the United Nations in 1948.…
