Abstract

Basic function of the state is to protect life, liberty, property of the people and to ensure a speedy justice. In Pakistan, the main components of criminal justice system are police, prosecution and judiciary. Unfortunately, the department of police in Pakistan is not producing requisite results. Incompetency of the police officers has become common tale of town. Usually, police officers in Pakistan do not follow the existing laws properly due to which upholding the rule of law remains a dream. It is witnessed since the birth of Pakistan that many efforts have been made for the overhauling of police department; however requisite goals could not be achieved. In 2002, Police Order was passed to cater the advance needs but the same was accepted half-heartedly. Requisite results cannot be achieved unless proper implementation of existing laws is ensured. In addition, the role of prosecution department should also be enhanced according to the modern world. This paper explains the causes and consequences of failure of police investigation officers. Furthermore, it is also discussed whether we need new laws with the existing laws.
