Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)
Role of the public official in a democracy, like the role of the State itself, was to serve the interest of the public and its members
Government in itself had no "private" interest of its own and existed for the sake of individuals
Representatives of the Government had no "self" interest that must be protected; and they must act to achieve the collective interest
Duty of the loyalty sought to prevent the serious concern that representatives of the Government would develop their own interests and use the tremendous power granted them for purposes that did not reflect the collective good
Said duty of loyalty sought to guarantee that the government took care of the public and not itself
Duty of trusteeship imposed derivative duties upon the state and trusteeship required fairness, and fairness required integrity, relevance, equality, and reasonableness
List of principles derived from the position of trusteeship was not closed, and list of values derived from the duty of fairness was not fixed
Values and principles, by nature, were on the one hand stable and on the other hand evolving and were sown in the soul of the nation and were not subject to passing trends and as such were full of vitality, and they evolve to provide fitting solutions to new problems.
