The Islamabad High Court has dismissed a petition filed against the establishment of Tiger Force, observing that such testing times necessitate having trust in measures being taken by federal and provincial governments to combat the Covid-19 pandemic.

In his remarks, IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah observed: “It is noted that the government is taking measures to deal with the crisis that has arisen due to the outbreak of coronavirus. The federal and provincial governments are dealing with the prevailing emergency situation and have taken appropriate measures. The petitioner union council has not placed anything on record to doubt that enough is not being done.”
