Poor law and order situation due to weak criminal system, says Imran Khan.

ISLAMABAD -- Prime Minister Imran Khan Thursday said that the country's criminal justice system needs to be reformed as the present set-up encourages criminals.

While addressing the launching ceremony of Letters of Administration and Succession Certificates, PM Imran Khan said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government would soon bring reforms in the criminal justice system and a task to the Ministry of Law has already been given for this purpose.

'The reforms in criminal justice system are of utmost importance because (bad) law and order situation in the country is also due to weak criminal system that doesn't provide timely justice, and encourages criminals,' PM said.

'When crime pays, crime multiplies,' PM said while quoting an English phrase and added that a civilised society gives message that crime doesn't pay. 'When our criminal justice system will properly work, it will give the same message, he also said. PM said that criminals evade from punishment in the present criminal justice system due to lengthy litigations. 'When there are difficulties in the system, crimes are committed.'

PM Imran Khan said that land mafias continued to operate in the county and they occupy properties of overseas Pakistanis because the judicial system doesn't work properly to decide such cases timely.

'We have to bring on board all stakeholders including judiciary and lawyers to make life of the citizens better,' he said. He said that the government has introduced the amended Code of Civil Procedure to decide lands and properties disputes in time that earlier took 30 to 40 years for their resolution. He highlighted that half of the pending cases in the courts were of land disputes.

Prime Minister Imran Khan said that as many 9 million overseas Pakistanis were their strength who sends remittances to the country while contributing in the country's economy. He said that it used to become difficult for them in the past to get issued succession certificates. He said that those people who had to get succession certificates and their families were dispersed worldwide; they knew how much agony they had to face in the past.
