AHORE : A miscellaneous petition has been filed in the Lahore High Court (LHC) seeking to suspend the enforcement of the Kite Flying Act 2025 and have it declared unlawful. It argues that the Kite Flying Act 2025 was passed in violation of the Constitution. The petition states that kite flying is ordinarily banned and classified as a non-bailable offense, while the holding of Basant poses risks of loss of life and property to citizens. Despite this, enforcing the Kite Flying Act 2025 is said to be against the public interest. The petition requests the LHC to declare the Kite Flying Act 2025 null and void and to order a stay on its implementation, along with all notifications issued under it, until a final verdict is announced.
