Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday has sought a reply from law ministry till March 12 over not presenting a bill to stop violence against children in the National Assembly. Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court (IHC) Athar Minallah conducted hearing on a plea submitted by Pakistani famous singer, social activist and Zindagi Trust President Shehzad Roy against physical punishment of children in schools. Singer Shahzad Roy along with his lawyer Shahabuddin Osto and Minister for Human Rights Dr. Sherry Mazari were also present in the court. During the proceedings, Shehzad Roy told the court that torturing the students at educational institutions has become trend in Pakistan. This practice should be banned for better development of the children, he requested. Shahzad Roy told the court how the Guardian can allow the physical punishment of children. Meanwhile, the IHC Chief Justice asked about the legislation on the bill passed against student assault. Islam also doesn’t allow anyone to torture a kid. This mindset has to be changed at any cost, he remarked. If there had been no media today, we would never have known such type of issues, he said. Political leadership and parliament have to change society's thinking, punishment of public execution will not do good to society, human behavior needs to change, he added.

"With great sorrow and deep sadness... the royal court mourns His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said, who passed away on Friday," a court statement said. Three days of official mourning have been declared, with flags flown at half-mast for 40 days for the Western-backed Qaboos, 79, who had ruled since taking over in a bloodless coup in 1970 with the help of former colonial power Britain. Last month he returned home after undergoing medical checks and treatment in Belgium. There were reports he was suffering from cancer. Sultan Qaboos was unmarried and had no heir or designated successor. According to the sultanate's Basic Statute, the Royal Family Council, comprising about 50 male members, should choose a new sultan within three days of the throne falling vacant. The high military council, in a statement carried on state media on Saturday, called on Oman’s ruling family council to convene to choose a successor. If the council fails to agree, a council of military and security officials, supreme court chiefs and heads of the two consultative assemblies will put in power the person whose name has been secretly written by the sultan in a sealed letter. According to Oman observers, sultan’s three cousins: Assad, Shihab and Haitham bin Tariq al-Said, stand the best chance. “I imagine that the succession itself will be a smooth process within Oman,” Kristian Coates Ulrichsen of the Texas-based Rice University’s Baker Institute told Reuters. “Sultan Qaboos had such charismatic authority and became so synonymous with Oman as a modern nation-state that it will naturally be difficult for any successor to replicate that, at least at the beginning,” Ulrichsen said. The sultan’s death comes at a time of heightened tension in the region between Iran and the United States and US ally Saudi Arabia.
