Though the Britishers only enforced their norms through law and schooling but its impact was long-lasting and deep-rooted amongst the young natives.the current architectural format of Pakistani buildings is inspired from British architecture as opposed to local designs and aesthetics specially regarding room aeration and lightening. Many of the botanical flowers and ferns that we see in Pakistan were introduced by Britishers which were than made part of the gardening aesthetics by the then influential Pakistanis to show-off their civilised family background.

The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.

These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.
