SLC22-W1 / Basic Notions of Law.

🔷 Part 1: What is Law?

1️⃣. In its most essential sense, law is more than just a region’s collection of rules. Rather, it is the spine of any well-organized society, providing the structures necessary to ensure that there is order and that people coexist peacefully. More importantly though, law is about fairness, equality and justice. It stipulates the processes through which disputes are to be resolved, as well as the manner through which people are to interact. In doing so, it ensures that people live their lives in peace under the protection of the law.

2️⃣. Suffice it to say, without law, society would simply be in a state of disarray. For example, individuals would do things ‘as they feel’ abusing one another in the Name of ‘individual interest’ which would eventually lead to ‘anarchy’. Such principles-laid down laws govern that people’s interest is safeguarded. Such principles would lay down acceptable actions and those that are not, explaining that vilification would occur, but so would measures in defense against vilification.

🔶Importance of Law:

The presence of law is essential for the development and stability of every society. Its importance is evident in the following points:

🔸 Delivery of Justice: The law provides justice to every person and prevents abuse or injustice to anyone.

What is right?

Righteousness are laws that apply equally to all members of society and aim to ensure justice and discipline. These laws are enforced by the government and punished for their violation.

⬛Features:

◽Tax laws, under which every citizen has to pay tax at the appointed time.

What is the right personal?

The right to personal is the rights that provide an individual with their personal needs, freedom, and protection. These rights are important for the protection of human personality and freedom

⬛Features:

▪️These rights are related to the personal life of the individual.

▪️Their goal is to promote individual freedom and autonomy.

🔲Examples:

◽Right to education.

◽Right to own and use property.

◽Practical Case Analysis:

⭕Haq-e-Aini:

Compliance with traffic rules is mandatory for all drivers, who are designed to maintain discipline.

🔷Part III: Difference between law and regulation

⚫Law:

Laws are principles that are enforced by the government and are intended to ensure social justice and discipline. The laws are written and clear and legal action is taken against their violation.

🔲Example:

◽ Laws made for murder.
◽Laws made theft.
◽Laws made fraud.

⬛Regulation:

Regulations are informal principles that are based on social values or the principles of an organization. Violation of them is met with moral or social pressure, but not legal action.

▪️Example:

Waiting for your turn in a queue or talking politely at an event.

Practical Case Analysis:

Mr. Jon Perez has not been able to pay the rent for three months and has kept four pet dogs in violation of apartment living rules.

🔸Violation of the law:

Non-payment of rent is a violation of a legal contract and the landlord can take action against it in court.

🔸Violation of regulation:

Having four dogs in an apartment is a violation of residency rules, which fall under penalty at the social level, not legal.
