The Supreme Court of Pakistan has announced a five-day holiday for Eid-ul-Fitr, suspending all court activities from March 29 to April 2, 2025. This decision was made following instructions from the Chief Justice of Pakistan.
The holiday schedule aligns with the federal government’s Eid holidays, which will be observed from March 31 to April 2. During this period, all government offices will remain closed, allowing people to celebrate Eid across the country.
Eid-ul-Fitr is expected to fall on March 31, but the exact date will be confirmed based on the sighting of the Shawwal moon. This festival marks the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection for Muslims worldwide. It is a time for joy, family gatherings, and acts of charity.
The extended holiday period will allow people more time to spend with loved ones, participate in traditional Eid activities, and visit friends and relatives. Many families prepare special meals, give gifts, and donate to those in need, keeping the spirit of generosity alive.
With the Supreme Court and government offices closed, public and private institutions may also adjust their schedules accordingly. As Eid approaches, markets and shopping centers are expected to be busier than usual, as people prepare for the celebrations.
The holiday provides an opportunity for everyone to enjoy quality time with their families while embracing the traditions and values that Eid-ul-Fitr represents.
