Abstract

A myriad of challenges marks the legal landscape in Pakistan, and this abstract aims to provide a concise overview of the complex issues surrounding legal proceedings in the country. Within the Pakistani judicial system, the abuse of legal proceedings has become a pervasive concern, undermining the very foundations of justice. In summary, this research encapsulates the multifaceted aspects of this issue, examining its historical context, current implications, and potential avenues for reform. A combination of British colonial legacies and indigenous legal traditions has influenced the historical evolution of legal proceedings in Pakistan. Over the years, this amalgamation has created a system that reflects a unique blend of adversarial and inquisitorial approaches. However, this complexity has also paved the way for various forms of abuse within legal proceedings. In contemporary Pakistan, the abuse of legal proceedings manifests in diverse ways, including but not limited to corruption, procedural misconduct, and ethical lapses. Instances of undue influence, political interference, and manipulation of the legal process have eroded public trust in the judiciary. This paper highlight the challenges posed by a system where justice is not only delayed but often denied.
