Forensic DNA Profiling and Criminal Justice System in Pakistan: An Analysis

Abstract

The article in hand is written to highlight the importance of DNA profiling in criminal justice system and need of legislation with reference to Pakistan. In Pakistani criminal justice system entire burden of investigation is upon police and other investigation agencies, which is compelling in nature for investigator to present him stock witness rather than relying on scientific evidence, and utilize all other resources of illegitimate ways to make any case strong. Sindhi society is heterogeneous and illiteracy is a big problem. Honest eye witnesses are usually unwilling to record their statement and even if they do, their statement loses its reliability during the encounter of extreme cross examinations and re-examination. The poor rate of conviction destroys the confidence of the public in the criminal justice system. Opinion of senior legal practitioners is obtained and a detailed case study is also conducted in this regard and it is observed that no one can deny the importance of DNA profiling in present scenario. This is what is needed now that Laboratories conducting DNA profiling must be upgraded and increases in numbers in all over the country and DNA data base is start developing to reduce crime rate in Pakistan.
