The High Court has observed that the Viqarunnisa Noon School student’s suicide is heart-rending—and it deemed the insults to her parents a very bad example.

A High Court bench comprised of Justice Sheikh Hassan Arif and Justice Rajik Al Jalil made the observations when a Supreme Court lawyer brought the issue to their attention.
