Abstract
“Since Islam is the guiding principle for the process of law formation in Pakistan, it is but established that introduction of article 10-A in Constitution of Pakistan guarantees right to fair trial and due process is an extension of rights provided in Islam. Two major landmarks in legislation have been the vision of our nation’s father Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the subsequent “Objective Resolution”which acted as a universally accepted guideline for all the future legislation in Pakistan. The second serious effort was made during Zia’s era (1977-88) when religious scholars and lawmakers sat together to amend existing laws according to Islam. How successful these attempts were, is debatable to date, but it certainly had a lasting effect the consequences of which can be seen not only today but in future legislation as well.
