⚖️ What is Criminal Law in Pakistan?
Criminal law governs offenses that violate public order and societal norms, prescribing punishment for acts deemed unlawful. In Pakistan, the criminal justice system is based on:
- Pakistan Penal Code, 1860 (PPC)
- Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 (CrPC)
These colonial-era laws still form the backbone of our legal system, adapted to reflect the nation’s sociocultural and constitutional framework. The Supreme Court of Pakistan oversees the country’s criminal courts. Every accused has the constitutional right (Article 10) to legal counsel, a fair trial, and due process, including:
- Completion of investigation within 14 days under Section 173 CrPC
- Opportunity to defend and submit evidence
- Right to appeal the trial court’s decision
