  "summary": "The Lahore High Court (LHC) has directed the Punjab police to increase the font size used in first information reports (FIRs) across the province, expressing concern over the readability of these documents. Chief Justice Aalia Neelum made this directive during a hearing on a contempt of court petition, noting that the small font size was causing difficulty for police officers to read and narrate the contents. She remarked that the issue was being seen in case after case, stating, \"While police are saving paper, we are losing our eyesight.\" The Chief Justice ordered the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to ensure that FIRs are printed in a uniform, larger font and has sought a detailed report on the steps taken to address this issue, with an adjournment until September 29.",
