The code of criminal procedure 1898 is still the main statute that governs the criminal process of justice in Pakistan. That statute has been written and promulgated over 112 years ago. That statute was never a perfect one and for the same reasons it has many flaws in this current era. It should be repealed and a fresh criminal procedure code should be implemented according to the requirements of this era.
Code of criminal procedure 1898 is one of the bones of contention in the administration of justice in Pakistan. One of the main reasons because of which the innocent have to spend long times in the jails is this statute. Similarly many professional offenders take benefit because of the deficiencies in the law.
This era demands a new enactment from the parliament that can speed up the process of justice in the Pakistani courts. There are many problems faced by the people because of problems in Criminal Procedure code from the start of criminal trial till the end and many judgements from the superior courts highlight that again and again.
