Islamabad, October 16,  2021: In this critical phase of the contemporary history of Pakistan, the hybrid ruling regime needs to pay attention to the Justice obsolete Justice System.

Drastic reform is needed to give relief to all sections of society. This is also a constitutional requirement that is guaranteed by the Constitution of Pakistan.

One aspect of the reform is the criminal justice.

Reform should include the set of laws and principles which are applied to convicted ones on their transgressions. It is one of the most important ingredients of any society in the world. It describes the offenses, punishments, procedures, and ways to punish those who violate laws of the society.

The guiding principle of the reform should be based on the guidance of Imam Ali (AS) that says, “The truth is old, and reviewing the truth is better than persisting with falsehood.”
