Father of the Nation:
 Let us hold in utmost veneration

and esteem our beloved Quaid-i-
Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Bar-
at-Law: the founder of Pakistan. We
both the Bar and Bench of Kasur

enormous gratification to him. It is
the matter of great value, honour

elevate and rest in heavens, forever! Ameen!

Historical Courts of Mughal Period in Kasur
The Apex Court of Kasur State

Gumbad Adalat (Dome Head) at Kasur.
Note: 1 Since Establishment of Mughal Empire in 1526 Kasur was a state

under the direct control of the Mogul King at Delhi. Hence Kasur state had its
own Apex Court. However, later on Kasur annexed to Lahore province. And
since the English rule, this court was remained used for permanent seat of the
English Chief Executive (SDO/ SDM/ AC) Kasur. Some years ago it is
rehabiltated as Kasur Museum.
2- Contrary to historical facts, its being a saint shrine is a misnomer.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF JUDICIAL SYSTEM IN PUNJAB
 On the eve of 150th anniversaries celebrations of Lahore High court, i am

delight to write on the History of Development of Judicial System in Punjab.
Thus the endeavour of this publication in the sesquicentennial year of
Honourable Lahore High Court, Lahore (1866 - 2016) is to have a look into
the past and present of the development of our judicial system.
 It provides us an opportunity of introspection and to know the historical
development of our judicial system, so that we may enlighten ourselves
and appreciate the journey undertaken by it to reach where it is today.
History and Evolution of District Judiciary in Punjab

Situated in the southern part of South Asia, comprising areas of Pakistan
and India the province of Punjab was divided between the two countries in
1947. The name Punjab signifies the waters of five rivers flowing through
this land. The region of Indus valley civilization and Indo-Aryan peoples has
a rich history as the Indus Valley civilization dating 2600 B.C was first
discovered at Harappa, and Alexander the great defeated King Porous at the
battle of Hydapes within this area near Mong Punjab. The Umayyad Empire
conquered Punjab in the 8th century CE, and later on Punjab was invaded
by King Timur and his great grandson King Babur and established Mogul
Empire. And Punjab reached its height of splendor during the reign of the
Mughal Empire. The administration of the Sikh empire was based in Lahore,
until its defeat by the British, Punjab played central role during the
independence movements of both India and Pakistan. The evolution of
judiciary in this region can be better understood if studied in following eras:

Dispensation of Justice under the British

British laid the foundations of a totally new system of
dispensation of justice through a hierarchy of civil and
Criminal Courts. Though given a start by Warren Hasting
(the first de-facto Governor-General of India from 1773 to
1785), but however, the system was stabilized by Governor
General India Lord Corn Wallis in 1793, with the
introduction of Cornwallis code and permanent settlement
plan for the East India Company.
By the initial system in each District a Diwani Adalat/ civil
court presided over by District Judge was established, who
belonged to civil service. Cornwallis separated the posts of
civil Judge and the collector.
(Mr. Warren Hasting)
Appeal from the District court lay first to four Provincial Courts of civil appeal
and then finally to the Sadar Diwani Adalat. Below the
District Courts were Registrars’ Courts, headed by
Europeans and a number of subordinate Courts
headed by Indian Judges known as Munsifs and Amins.
The civil Courts applied the customary law that had
prevailed in any area or among a section of people since
times immemorial.To deal with the Criminal cases,
Cornwallis divided the Presidency of Bengal into four
divisions, in each of which a court of circuit presided
over by the civil servants was established.
(Lord Corn Wallis)
Since Punjab was considered a backward province due to the inclusion of area
of former Frontier province of Pakistan, the measures of reforms introduced in
the other provinces in United India/ Subcontinent at a comparatively early
date, were introduced in Punjab after its separation from the former Frontier
province in1901.Old machinery of Mughal days had passed away and Sikh
regime did nothing to replace it. Crime was suppressed by brutal force and by
sheer terrorism. When the British took over after the Sikh, they had to build up
a judicial system right from the scratch.
The early form of administration of justice was simple and almost patriarchal,
however the years followed by the establishment of Chief court show rapid
development of more complex and complicated system of justice suited to the
more highly organized life of the community. Modern conception of judiciary
was an alien phenomenon to the minds of our forefathers. Since traditions
centuries old cannot be toppled over easily, the conquering people the English
respected the prejudiced of the people while imposing their own laws. The
English came from a land where the Rule of law was predominant and where
everyman was amenable to the ordinary laws of the land. The British had
already acquired some experience of judicial administration in other parts of
United India/ Subcontinent, so they knew exactly the efficacy of their own
system in a foreign land. Before consolidation of Punjab under Ranjit Singh,
Punjab was divided into small principalities ruled by independent chiefs. Crime
was prevalent, population was illiterate, and there was little security of private
property because the wrong doers could easily escape to some neighboring
Chief’s territory. Measures employed for the suppression of crime were rude

and mechanical. In practice, there were no regular Courts of law and no

separate department of judicial administration. Every Chief decided cases
according to his own discretion and regarded justice as a tool to make wealth.
The same officer had to do multifarious duties of collecting revenue, of police,
and of dispensing justice in his chiefdom. There were no uniform system of law
for the country as a whole and no common authority to enforce it. In all chaos
and confusion, there were certain rules or customs for offences of common
occurrences, but the procedure to deal with them was primitive. Arbitration
was freely resorted, and it would not be wrong to say that the individual did not
enjoy any liberty, rather was subservient to the military despotism that
prevailed. Such was the state of affairs when Ranjit Singh began to conquer
and consolidate Punjab into one kingdom. Since he himself was a despot, he
had no notion of law. There were no Courts in the whole kingdom except one at
Lahore, that of the Saddar Adaulatee.
In the whole state there were two types of functionaries, these were fiscal and
military. His sole aim was to organize a strong military and most of his revenue
was used for it. Qazees and Kanungos exercised the functions which they
inherited from the imperial times, however like oriental kings the Maharaja
would listen to the complaints on his rides and would threaten and rebuke
local governors from whom province he heard the complaints. In the unwritten
penal code there were two types of penalties those were fine and mutilation.
Imprisonment was unknown and the capital sentence was rarely resorted to.
With all these shortcomings, there was a well-established government giving
peace and security to the people. To sum up, custom played a very important
role in dispensing justice. Regency was set up in the year1847 under the
British control when the Army of Khalsa was curbed. It was with the
establishment of Regency, when the Western methods of administration were
first time introduced, and individuals of integrity and repute were appointed as
separate administrators of civil and Criminal justice. It was then when
deification of laws was started and tendency of reforms was introduced in the
region. Board of administration was appointed with a president and two
members. Board was entrusted with “plenary” authority to control and
supervise all departments. They were to exercise the powers of a Saddar Court
of Judicature and Saddar Board of Revenue. Country was divided into five
divisions, placed under separate Commissioners, who were superintendents of
police, revenue and also exercised appellate powers in civil and those of a
Sessions Judge in Criminal cases. In 1853 the Board of administration was
abolished and a separate judicial Commissioner was appointed, who was not
only the final appellate court but was also head of the police. The institution of
police witnessed significant growth inters of proper training and expertise, so
the effective mechanism of police in detection and investigation of crimes also
lead to the growth of Criminal law. Consequently various Criminal Courts were
set up. The era was marked by mushroom growth of the Courts of small causes
for petty cases. For more intricate cases, there were Magistrates and Sessions
Court in the District, but the highest court of appeal was that of Judicial
Commissioner. On the civil side even in the Sikh era, the private property was
secure and looked after. The litigant of the region had been of average
intelligence, which often fell prey to the wicked and designing, so in the case of
Punjab the wicked was the cunning village banker, therefore it was imperative
to provide Justice cheaply to those who could not purchase it at a higher price.
Soon after the annexation the cases pertaining to landed property were
transferred to Revenue Officers. During the year1853 a brief code was prepared
embodying the principles for the guidance of Courts. The Courts were divided
into four grades these were Deputy Commissioner, Assistant Commissioner,
Extra Assistant Commissioner and that of Tehsildar. To curb the problem of
49

growing number of claims and appeals, various schemes were introduced

in1861 such as the second appeals were not admissible unless some error of
law was shown, or if the first decision of the lower court was affirmed in the
first appeal, no further appeal was allowed. Law of limitation was also being
practically introduced and to regulate the documentary evidence, unregistered
bonds of certain denomination were made inadmissible as a check against
alarming growth of claims. Sample of ledger and accounts books were
introduced. Ad valorem court fee which was being levied at the rate of2.5%, but
later on fixed scales were introduced. By the year1868, the Registration Act
of1866 was also extended to Punjab. The years 1862 and 1865 were remarked
by the creation of office of the Clerk of Court. With the introduction of Punjab
Courts Act1865, suits pertaining to land revenue, rent and produce from land
we retransferred to civil side of Courts. In the year 1865 general improvement
agency employed a system of departmental examination for the promotion and
recruitment of Judges. Another change that was brought about in the system
of administration of justice was the Pleaders Act, by which pleaders who were
previously excluded from the province of Punjab now started practicing at
Courts of Punjab. The year1866 brought about the most conspicuous change
in the history of Indian judicial system by which Chief Court was established in
place of the Court of Judicial Commissioner.In1875 the government of India
sanctioned long awaited and badly needed increase in the judicial staff and
partial separation between the executive and judiciary. Munsifs purely Judicial
Officers were appointed in75 subdivisions to set Tehsils, free for their executive
duties till 1884. Under the Act of 1875 the Commissioners were relieved mostly
of civil and criminal work except revenue appeals.
Hon’able Judges Lahore High Court
However in the Districts where work load was light, Deputy Commissioners
continued hearing appeals in civil cases, invested with the powers of District
Judge under new Act. Till the year1878 Government Regulations further
relieved Deputy Commissioners of their work to hear appeals, which were now

in petty cases being heard by Judicial Assistants. A great difficulty was being
faced in execution of decrees as a consequence thereof, it was enjoined upon
Courts in whose jurisdiction the defendant lived, to execute the decrees as if it
was passed by it. To further facilitate execution, code of civil procedure 1878
extended powers to some Courts to issue warrants of attachment of property
beyond the local limits of their jurisdiction.
By the tear1884 a well-organized and fairly modern hierarchy of Courts was
established in Punjab. On the Criminal side, there were seven classes of Courts
namely Special Magistrate, Honorary Magistrate, Benches of Honorary
Magistrate, Subordinate Stipendiary Magistrate, District Magistrate, Court of
Sessions and Chief Court at the top. On the civil side there were Chief Court on
the top, and under its superintendent there were Commissioners, District
Courts and District Judges, Judicial Assistants and Subordinate Judges,
Assistant Commissioners and Extra Assistant Commissioners, Tehsildars, Naib
Tehsildars, Munsifs, Honorary Civil Judges and Judges of Court of Small
Causes. Steps to launch new schemes to reduce burden of appeals and to
advance separation of powers earlier startedin1875 were taken. By these new
schemes Session Divisions were revised, Divisional Judges were appointed,
pecuniary powers of jurisdiction were revised and future mechanism was
devised to deal with appeals lying to appellate Courts according to value of
claims. Separate jurisdiction was to be exercised by Revenue Courts in suits
relating to Land Revenue, with a proper hierarchy. Overall result of the scheme
was not as it was desired, as the problems of arrears of appeals were still
persisted so the Lt. Governor of Punjab re-distributed the Districts of Punjab
into19 temporary civil divisions, and joint Sessions Judges we reappointed to
meet the task. The bench system also proved to be a futile as it could not keep
pace with disposal of work. However the abolition of divisional benches
suddenly led to unprecedented growth in the number of appeals to Chief Court.
Since Honorary Magistrates were not experts of law, rather they were men of
great influence in the local area, so they tend to pass inadequate sentences; as
consequence thereof rate of crime raised up to an alarming rate. In the
year1886public prosecutor was appointed in Peshawar, whereas in other
Districts Gazette Police Officers were introduced to regard prosecution. Due to
absence of public prosecutors, the average duration of Criminal trial suffered
delay. Inspection of subordinate Courts was almost missing due to pressure of
work on Sessions Judges. The civil administration also witnessed rise number
of cases dismissed in default and decided ex-parte due to lack of expert
knowledge of Munsifs.
The two of following decades with the advent of twentieth century were marked
by a number of community wide problems such as plague, famines, political
unrest, at caste and its family feuds, revolutionary dacoits of 1915 and
conspiracies, and reaction of World War-I, which led to an evident increase in
crime rates in the region.
Undeniably steps were also taken such as construction of road networks,
improved communication, digging of canals, employment of regular and more
equipped police force and Western education, to combat the situation. Thus
the greatest change was brought about in the year1919, when the Chief Court
was elevated to the status of High Court, but the rest of judicial setup at both
civil and criminal side rarely underwent any prominent change.
However some of the noticeable legislations which certainly left an impact on
the overall make up of administration included:
 The Punjab Frontier Crimes Regulations Act1887,
 Habitual Offenders Act1918,
 The Rowlett Act1919

The History of LHC has been a fascinating growth of social and political affairs
over which it has exercised jurisdiction. In the 1790s the area of Punjab was in
the disorganized state of affairs. It was under the heads of various Sikh ‘Misls’
(Confederacies). And there were unstable administrative and judicial state of
affairs. In this scenario, primitive customs and myriad rules were followed for
the settlement of disputes through ‘Panches’. There were no judicial Courts,
written laws or an authority to enforce and maintain them.
The Judicial reforms started with the consolidation of Punjab under the
Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who amongst other steps reorganized the
administration of Justice in the area under his domain. The persons professing
the Muslim faith were governed by the ‘Shariat’ law and for them separate
Courts were set up. Nazamdin was appointed Chief Qazi (Judge) with
Mohammad Shah Puri and Saidullah Chishti as two Muftis.
The Hindus and the Sikhs were governed by customary Law of their caste or
the District, for which the Maharaja set up separate Courts under Judicial
Officers appointed by the Durbar. A distinct court was set up at the capital
known as Adalat-I-Ala. Not much is known as to how this court was
constituted and who the Judges were, but its name suggests that it was
probably an Appellate court akin to the High Court. With the death of the great
Sikh Ruler, disorder and chaos prevailed once again. On 16th December, 1847
an Assembly of the Sikh Misldars (Chieftains) was held in the durbar of the
British Resident and a convention was signed appointing a Council of Regency
under the British Resident who became there positron of authority in the
territory of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Soon there was a revolt against the British
Residency.
With the annexation of Punjab, the British set up a Board of Administration of
three members having responsibility though separate charge of Political,
Revenue and Judicial Administration. In the field of Criminal law a Penal Code
known as a “Punjab Crimes Act” was amongst the first written code to be
applied in the province.
The Board was however, abolished in 1853 and John Lawrence (Later Lord)
was appointed as Chief Commissioner with two Principal Commissioners for
judicial and administrative work. The Judicial Commissioner was the Chief
Judge and his Court was the final Appellate Court.
Lord Macaulay’s Indian Penal Code was enforced in 1860 and Criminal
Procedure Code followed. In civil matters the Punjab Civil Code was applied to
the province in 1853-54, which was a complete set of Rules and Orders that
had been issued in the Past. The Punjab Courts Act (Act No. 19 of 1865) was
enacted which inter-alia provided for seven classes of Courts to exercise Civil
jurisdiction starting from the Tehsildar up to the Court of Judicial
Commissioner. The Chief Court Act (Act 23 of 1855) remained in force for a
short span. In the following year in 1866 the Chief Court (Act IV of 1866)
received the assent of the Governor General on 16th February, 1866. The said
Act constituted the Chief Court of Punjab as the ultimate Court of Appeal of
Civil and Criminal Courts in the Province. During this period Justice Ram
Narain Dar (1849 to 1886) was elevated as the first Indian Judge of the Chief
Court. It was in 1877 by the Punjab Court Act (XVII of 1877) that the Punjab
Courts Act, 1865 and the Chief Court, Act, 1866 were repealed. The new Act
brought about some changes in the Civil Courts. The setting up of the Chief
Court in 1866, culminated in the constitution of the High Court of Judicature
Lahore for the province of Punjab and Delhi on21st March, 1919 by Letter

Patent. Thereby the status of Chief Court was elevated to that of the High
Court. On 23rd December, 1919 the “Government of India Act “was enacted.
The noted legal luminary Sir Shadi Lal was the first Indian to be appointed as a
Judge of LHC and his elevation as Chief Justice of Chief
Court was culminating point of his career. He was one of
the first six Judges appointed as Judge of the Lahore High
Court after its constitution. He was also amongst the first
Indian Judges who were elevated to Privy Council London
(the Court of Last Appeal).
The Government of India Act 1935 substituted the Act of
1919 which brought changes in the composition of the
Court.

Imparting Knowledge among Legal Fraternity:
 Imparting knowledge is a perpetual source of keeping the jurists update;

hence, the honourable Bar and Bench Kasur District purposefully
arrange lectures by both the organ of the legal fraternity. The honourable
Chief Justice of Pakistan has rightly held that Bar and Bench are not
merely two wheels of any artificial chariot, but they are the two hand,
two legs and two eyes of a living body. It is also of utmost pertinence to
cite here that Supreme Court has held that “they are two branches of the
same profession and neither is superior or inferior to other.”

enough DNA to code for one protein, and a genome is simply the sum
total of an organism's DNA.
76
BAR & BENCH.
2019
 Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is
located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small
amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria.
 The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical
bases:
I. Adenine (A),
II. Guanine (G),
III. Cytosine (C), and
IV. Thymine (T).
 Human DNA consists of about 3 billion bases, and more than 99.9
percent of those bases are the same in all people.
 A DNA molecule is a double helix, a structure that looks much like a
ladder twisted into a spiral.
 The sides of the ladder are made of alternating sugar and phosphate
molecules, the sugar of one nucleotide linked to the phosphate of the
next. DNA is often said to have a sugar and phosphate "backbone."
 DNA bases pair up with each other, A with T and C with G, to form units
called base pairs.
 The structure of the double helix is somewhat like a ladder, with the base
pairs forming the ladder’s rungs and the sugar and phosphate molecules
forming the vertical sidepieces of the ladder.
 An important property of DNA is that it can replicate, or make copies of
itself. Each strand of DNA in the double helix can serve as a pattern for
duplicating the sequence of bases. This is critical when cells divide
because each new cell needs to have an exact copy of the DNA present in
the old cell.
What is Polygraph Test?
 An instrument for receiving and recording simultaneously tracings of

variations in certain body activities.
 A test using such an instrument to determine if a person is telling thetru
th.
 Lie detector.
 An apparatus for producing copies of a drawing or writing.
 A prolific or versatile author.
 To test (a person) with a polygraph.
18. What is Photogrammetric Test?

 Photogrammetric is the science of making measurements from
photographs, especially for recovering the exact positions of surface
points.
 Photogrammetric analysis may be applied to one photograph, or may
use high-speed photography and remote sensing to detect, measure and
record complex 2-D and 3-D motion fields by feeding measurements
and imagery analysis into computational models in an attempt to
successively estimate, with increasing accuracy, the actual, 3-D relative
motions.
 From its beginning with the stereo plotters used to plot contour
lines on topographic maps, it now has a very wide range of uses.
 (See also sonar, radar, lidar, etc.).
 2-D

criminals, ensure the protection of witnesses and the speedy disposal of
cases, legal experts say.

25. Conclusion
 In very outset, it is discussed that evidence available through modern
devices or techniques, as deems appropriate, may allow to be produced
and be treated as admissible evidence.
 Qanoon-e-shadat order 1984 is a code of rules and laws which provides
guidelines in the field of evidences, to the effect to finish ambiguity in
cases and to bring the court at the right conclusion of justice.
 The object of Article 164 of Qanoon-e-shadat order is to provide structure,
to the effect that any fact intended to be established has to be in
accordance with scheme and rules of Qanoon-e-shadat, and if any
argument which is bases on plausibility and on more presumptions,
surmises and conjectures would have no effect. Rather, this provision of
law emphasized upon substantial standard of recording evidence even
that is available through modern devices; hence it is useful law in the
modern era of I.T., which is used by the courts as the custodian of
fundamental rights and for provision of substantial justice.
