Justice of The Peace
The concept Justice of Peace (JoP) has been
introduced in most countries to secure
public peace and tranquility. A Judicial
Officer of the inferior rank holding a court
not of record, and having civil and criminal
jurisdiction of a limited nature, for the trial
of minor cases, to an extent prescribed by
statue, and for the conservation of the
peace and the preliminary hearing of
criminal complaints and the commitment of
offenders.
According to Pakistani law any
Provincial Government can appoint any
reasonable and suitable person as a
Justice of Peace (JoP) in a union council,
tehsil and district level for a specific
period. He or she institutes legal
proceedings against a person who infringes
the rights of other. He or she has power to
make an arrest in circumstances
enumerated in Sections 54 and 55 of the
criminal procedure code and to hand over
the custody of the arrested person to the
officer in charge of the nearest police
station.
Moreover, JoP also has the power to issue a
certificate of identification of a person, to
verify documents and to attest any such
document required by or under law in force
to be attested by a magistrate, until the
contrary was proved, any certificate,
document attested shall be deemed to have
been as fully attested as if he had been by a
magistrate, as mentioned in Section 22-A of
the CrPC. It is also necessary to fix
handsome salary for the JoP.
In view of the increasing crime rate yet
registration of First Information Report
(FIR) is a big problem. Therefore, Provincial
Government and federal government may
appoint Justices of Peace in every union
council, tehsil, and district level to secure
public peace and tranquility and try to
make the crime-free Pakistan. Hopefully,
Government of Pakistan, Supreme Court
and Wafaqi Mohtasib will take
immediate steps for the appointment of
the Justices of the Peace at the union
council level.

Justice of the Peace

  • 1. Justice of The Peace The concept Justice of Peace (JoP) has been introduced in most countries to secure public peace and tranquility. A Judicial Officer of the inferior rank holding a court not of record, and having civil and criminal jurisdiction of a limited nature, for the trial of minor cases, to an extent prescribed by statue, and for the conservation of the peace and the preliminary hearing of criminal complaints and the commitment of offenders. According to Pakistani law any Provincial Government can appoint any reasonable and suitable person as a Justice of Peace (JoP) in a union council, tehsil and district level for a specific period. He or she institutes legal proceedings against a person who infringes the rights of other. He or she has power to make an arrest in circumstances enumerated in Sections 54 and 55 of the criminal procedure code and to hand over the custody of the arrested person to the officer in charge of the nearest police station. Moreover, JoP also has the power to issue a certificate of identification of a person, to verify documents and to attest any such document required by or under law in force to be attested by a magistrate, until the contrary was proved, any certificate, document attested shall be deemed to have been as fully attested as if he had been by a magistrate, as mentioned in Section 22-A of the CrPC. It is also necessary to fix handsome salary for the JoP. In view of the increasing crime rate yet registration of First Information Report (FIR) is a big problem. Therefore, Provincial Government and federal government may appoint Justices of Peace in every union council, tehsil, and district level to secure public peace and tranquility and try to make the crime-free Pakistan. Hopefully, Government of Pakistan, Supreme Court and Wafaqi Mohtasib will take immediate steps for the appointment of the Justices of the Peace at the union council level.
