Driving Towards Accountability: Accessing E-Challan Efficiency and Public Response in Sindh.

The article explains how the e-challan system is a modern, technology-driven approach to traffic law enforcement that improves transparency, efficiency and accountability by reducing human involvement and corruption. Introduced in Sindh after its success in Lahore, the system uses surevillance cameras and digital records to monitor violations and enhance road safety. While it has contributed to a reduction in accidents and increased disicipline, it has also faced criticisim regarding high fines, lack of awareness, and infrastructure issues. The article concludes that with porper reforms, public awareness, and supportive measures, the e-challan system can significantly improve traffic management and public trust.

Whether the Prohibition of Expressing Matters in Walls Act, 1965 is Unconstitutional

The Prohibition of Expressing Matters on Walls Act, 1965 is argued to be unconsititutional becasue it imposes a blanket ban on all forms of wall expression, thereby violating the fundamental right of freedom of expression. The Act fails to distinguish between lawful and unlawful content, uses vague and overbroad language, and contradicts other laws that permit affixing notices. As a result, it restricts constitutional freedoms, goes against principles of legality and certainity, and should be declared null and void to uphold the supermacy of the constitution.
