IMPLEMENTATION OF FORENSIC SCIENCE IN PAKISTAN'S LEGAL JUSTICE SYSTEM: A CRITICAL LEGAL PERSPECTIVE: THE IMPORTANCE OF FORENSIC EVIDENCE AND ITS PRINCIPAL FUNCTION
Abstract
Currently, the field of forensics plays a significant role in the criminal justice system's operations by supplying data that might be used to assess the degree of guilt of a suspect. In order to resolve crimes, gather evidence, and decide cases involving overt lawbreakers, the judicial system is becoming more and more dependent on forensic science. In any case, it continues to seem impossible to determine the importance of criminological science in relation to the task at hand and the results of cases in the setting of Pakistan. In the past, study in this field has mostly concentrated on science and innovation instead of how people might use legal institutions and science to their greatest advantage to achieve acceptable equality results. The efficiency of criminological science in police investigations and court preliminary hearings is examined in this. Recognizing the situations, settings, and ways in which forensic science may improve criminal investigations, court cases, and equity results while guaranteeing the efficient use of resources at Pakistani law enforcement agencies and everywhere else in Pakistan. This article outlines current efforts and gives a summary of the project's rationale and essential components. Forensic science is capable of accomplishing as said since it was created to pursue the truth as required by the criminal justice system
