Analytical Study of the Role of Justice of Peace in Registration of Fir in Pakistan
Abstract:	No legislation is beneficial unless it is helpful for the masses in general and downtrodden people in particular. Legislators usually focus on the deprived segments of society so that weaker ones may take advantage of the said legislation. Any legislation that does not benefit the weaker sections of society is meaningless. Registration of the First information report is the right of the citizen in case of cognizable nature of the offence. Lodgement of FIR is the responsibility of the police in such a scenario. Needless to mention that ours is not a utopian state, and because of dissatisfaction of people due to incompetence and high handedness of police officials in the lodgement of FIR, Section 22-A(6) was added in Criminal Procedure Code in 2002. Justices of Peace had performed their duti ... Read More - Download PDF - View Fulltext
