The
Pakistan has Inherited the well astablished legal system
of British . After the partetion in 14 August 1947 the
country has developed its own legal freme work but the
basis and the fundamentals of the system is the same
which were inherited by the pakistan. Broadly speaking
the constitution which is the main source of the law is
also based upon the principles of British un written
constitution , Democratic value and parlimentry system
of government as the paramount importence in it . But
after adding a new article in the constitution of
Islamic republic of Pakistan all the Laws inforced in
the country are to be made inconformity with the Islamic
injuctions based upon the HOLY QURAN and SUNNA. No law
contrary to the injuction of the Quran or Sunna can
sustain in the legal structure of pakistan. The superior
judicuary has the legal power to strike down the whole
law or its clauses which are repugnent to Islamic values
and injunctions of Quran. More over the no legeistation
can be done by the legeislative organ of the state which
is otherwise repugnant to islamic value or to the
injunction of Quran .
Present
legal system has undergone and exercise through the
Federal Shariat Courts , as a result of this exercise
now the legal structure although basically it remains on
the foundation of the British legal system yet its
characteristics are Islamic based upon the Golden
Principle of Islam
