Rights of Accused at Trial Stage: An Analytical Study of Intentional Rules and Legal System of Pakistan

Abstract

    The effectiveness of decisions is based on the quality of trials. In this respect, the role of courts, prosecution, and lawyers is very important to make the fair trial a reality, and there is also a need for a society that respects the governance of law. Each individual has the right to a fair trial in all kinds of cases. A fair trial is not a mere right rather;, it is a bundle of rights. A free, independent,capable, unprejudiced judiciary is important for safeguarding rights available to any accused on trial stage. This study opens a discussion about the rights of the accused, provided by the international legal rules and legal system by Pakistan, at the trial stage. The study explains the fair trial and related rights in the light of different International documents. It also highlights any gap with respect to the rights of the accused that has to be filled in the legal system of Pakistan. A theoretical and comparative approach has been adopted to conclude the study.
