The tragic accident on Karsaz Road, which claimed the lives of Imran and his young daughter, has gotten the whole country on thier toes seeking justice but what is more shocking is how there are many who have no hope of justice being served. As the case progresses, a debate has emerged: Should the family of the victims settle for financial compensation, or should they pursue justice through the courts? The answer is not straightforward. Especially in a country where the legal system is often seen as susceptible to influence.
The Illusion of Compensation
In cases like the Karsaz incident, the idea of compensation can be tempting. Financial settlements often come with the promise of immediate relief, offering a way to cover the costs of funerals. It also supports the remaining family members, and even provide a semblance of justice.
The court has been provided a large amount of 68 lac Rs by the family of the alleged for a retainer on bail and there are rumours circulating that the families of the victims ae reaching a settlement with the Gul Ahmed family outside court which is allowed by law as well. However, lawyers emphasize that compensation should not be considered when the family is still grieving or under pressure. In the aftermath of such a tragedy, families are vulnerable. Accepting a settlement might seem like the easiest way to move on. But money cannot replace the lives lost, nor can it heal the emotional wounds inflicted by such a traumatic event.
The Pursuit of Justice
Justice, on the other hand, is not about financial gain—it is about accountability. In the case of the Karsaz Road accident, Natasha Danish, the accused, has cited mental health issues as part of her defense. While mental health is a serious concern, there are questions about whether this defense is being used to evade responsibility. The delay in submitting critical blood and urine samples for analysis has only fueled suspicions of foul play.
For the families of the victims, pursuing justice means ensuring that the truth is revealed and that those responsible are held accountable, regardless of their social standing. It is about sending a message that the lives of ordinary citizens matter and that the law applies equally to everyone.
What the Family Needs Most
Ultimately, what the families of the Karsaz Road victims need is a fair and transparent legal process. They need to know that their loved ones did not die in vain and that the legal system will work to ensure that justice is served. While compensation may offer temporary relief, it is justice that provides closure and peace of mind.
In a society where influence often trumps accountability, the pursuit of justice is not just about one family. It is about upholding the principles that protect all citizens. The Karsaz incident is a test of the integrity of Pakistan’s legal system, and how it is handled will set a precedent for the future. For the victims’ families, justice is not just a desire—it is a necessity.
