What is the Pakistani Legal system like?

Pakistan's legal system is dominated by law and has a mixed legal system based on the English legal system. This system includes Islamic law as well as laws from the British colonial period. Pakistan's constitution establishes the fundamental laws for the country and regulates the powers of the legislative, executive and judicial branches. The Constitution also guarantees fundamental rights and freedoms. The legislative branch consists of a bicameral parliament: the National Assembly and the Senate. Laws are passed by these two houses and approved by the president. The executive branch consists of the prime minister and the cabinet. The prime minister is elected by the majority of the parliament and appointed by the president. The executive branch enforces the laws and manages the day-to-day affairs of the country. The judicial branch includes an independent and impartial judicial system. The highest level of the judicial branch is the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court examines applications made in accordance with the constitution, determines constitutionality and evaluates appeal applications. It can also review decisions made by lower courts. Pakistan's legal system also includes Islamic law, and Islamic law rules are applied, especially in areas such as family law and inheritance law. Therefore, Islamic law may be influential in some of the cases tried in Pakistan. However, Pakistan's legal system is subject to criticism from time to time. There may be problems with issues such as judicial independence, fair trial and the rule of law. These problems are being addressed through legal reforms and efforts to improve justice.
