The judicial system of Pakistan

1. The judicial system has evolved over time from Hindu, Muslim, and British rule and is now based on English common law mixed with Islamic law.

Independence of Judiciary in Pakistan
The document discusses the independence of the judiciary in Pakistan. It notes that Pakistan operates a hierarchical court system with the Supreme Court and High Courts. While the constitution aims to separate powers, military dictators have undermined judicial independence. The 2007 Lawyers' Movement protested the suspension of the Chief Justice and helped reinstate an independent judiciary. However, recent high-profile cases involving Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto's assassination showed the judiciary still faces interference, so complete independence remains elusive.
The functions of government executive branch
The Executive branch of the Pakistani government is responsible for the daily management and administration of the country. It is headed by the Prime Minister, who is elected by the National Assembly and appoints the cabinet and senior government officials. The President is the ceremonial head of state and is elected by an Electoral College for a five-year term. Key roles of the Executive branch include overseeing provinces and institutions through governors and appointments, commanding the armed forces, and enacting policies through the Cabinet and departments.

The foremost idea for the establishment of the Senate of Pakistan was to give equal depiction to all federating units. There is equivalent provincial association in the Senate that stable the provincial variation in the National Assembly where the amount of seats is determined based on populace volume.
Removal of president
The President of India can be removed before the end of their term through impeachment. Either house of Parliament can start the process by filing charges signed by one-quarter of its members. If the second house also approves the charges by a two-thirds special majority, the President stands impeached and is deemed to have vacated their office. No president has ever faced impeachment proceedings in India.
Judicialstructureofpakistan 100303005350-phpapp02
The document summarizes Pakistan's judicial structure. It begins by defining justice and the purposes of a judicial system, which are to administer justice, resolve disagreements, and perform adjudication, legislation, and execution functions. It then outlines Pakistan's court system, which stems from the British system and requires laws be consistent with Islam. The system includes the Supreme Court, Federal Shariyat Court, four provincial High Courts, civil and criminal subordinate courts, and alternative dispute resolution systems like jirgas. Jirgas are tribal assemblies that decide local issues and remain influential due to Pakistan's strong feudal system.
Judicial Court System of Pakistan
The judicial court system of Pakistan consists of multiple levels of courts with differing jurisdictions. At the federal level, there are three levels of courts - district courts which exist in every province, high courts that have appellate authority over lower courts, and the supreme court which has exclusive jurisdiction over disputes between provinces and appellate jurisdiction over high court decisions. Additionally, family courts have exclusive authority over personal status cases and appeals go to the high court. A federal shariat court was also established in 1980 to examine if any laws conflict with Islamic principles as laid out in the Quran and Sunnah.
Court System Of Pakistan
The judiciary of Pakistan is a hierarchical system with two classes of courts: the superior (or higher) judiciary and the subordinate (or lower) judiciary. The superior judiciary is composed of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, the Federal Shariat Court and five High Courts, with the Supreme Court at the apex. There is a High Court for each of the four provinces as well as a High Court for the Islamabad Capital Territory. The Constitution of Pakistan entrusts the superior judiciary with the obligation to preserve, protect and defend the constitution.[1] Neither the Supreme Court nor a High Court may exercise jurisdiction in relation to Tribal Areas, except otherwise provided for. The disputed regions of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit–Baltistan have separate court systems.Besides Supreme Court of Pakistan, there are areas that are not constitutional parts of Pakistan till now.They are Gilgit Baltistan and AJK.As per constitution of Pakistan, these both areas are not a part of Pakistan, rather they are being governed by Government of Pakistan on interim basis.Though Gilgit Baltistan declared its independence from Dogra/Maharaja Kashmir on 1st Nov 1948, that is said to be the independence day of Gilgit Baltistan.Likewise, the authority of Constitution of Pakistan is not held there, though through Presidential ordinances, and PM packages, they are governed and given an interim authority delegated by Federal Government of Pakistan.
As the Supreme Court of Pakistan doesn't have jurisdiction over Gilgit Baltistan, thus another form of APEX Court named Supreme Appellate Court for Gilgit Baltistan has been introduced, with designated powers as that of Supreme Court of Pakistan
The subordinate judiciary consists of civil and criminal district courts, and numerous specialized courts covering banking, insurance, customs and excise, smuggling, drugs, terrorism, taxation, the environment, consumer protection, and corruption. The criminal courts were created under the Criminal Procedure Code 1898 and the civil courts were established by the West Pakistan Civil Court Ordinance 1964. There are also revenue courts that operate under the West Pakistan Land Revenue Act 1967. The government may also set up administrative courts and tribunals for exercising exclusive jurisdiction in specific matters

This document analyzes channel disturbance zones in the Finley River in Missouri to determine locations and extent of past channel changes. The researcher identified disturbance zones using aerial photos and extracted data on channel patterns, widths, and migration rates. The analysis found that 21% of the main stem was disturbed, with chute cutoffs being the dominant disturbance type. Disturbance zones had higher confinement ratios and lower widths than stable areas. Four distinct disturbance patterns - extension, translation, chute cutoff, and megabar formation - were identified. The analysis provides insights into river behavior that can help predict future changes.
