Judge Ahmed Nadeem Arshad heard the attorney Azhar Siddique’s argument.
Numerous people have lost their lives in Punjab as a result of stray chemical kite strings, and police and other officials have “failed” to safeguard lives and enforce the prohibition on kite flying.
It was requested that the high court direct authorities to draft laws guaranteeing an outright ban on kite flying.
Following the plea hearing, the Punjab government and other parties were sent letters by the court requesting their answer to the plea.
A motion to declare the manufacture of kites and strings an offense for which there is no bail was brought to the Punjab Assembly earlier this month.
Hina Parvez Butt, MPA for the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), proposed the resolution. Concerns on the rising number of stray kite string events in the province were voiced in the resolution.
In her motion, the PML-N MPA urged judges to deny bail to those accused of kite and string-making offences and requested the Punjab Assembly House to deem them non-bailable offenses.
