Radical Islamism and Jihad
NWFP waiting for President’s nod over Shariat
By Waseem Ahmad Shah

The government has proposed the penalising of investigation officers or law officials found to have acted in violation of the established principles of the Sharia or undermined the course of justice; delayed submission of copy of FIRs to the Qazi concerned or failed to submit charge-sheets to the court concerned within prescribed time.

The proposed amendment also called for setting up a committee headed by a serving or retired judge of the high court to select Qazi assistants and ‘Alim Wakeels’ (scholar lawyers). The lawyers should have the same qualifications as required for a Qazi and they would enjoy the status of advocates in courts to be set up under the new regulation.

The amendments call for referring civil cases to Musleheen (mediators) before the recording of evidence and criminal cases after the recording of evidence.
