Qanun e Shahadat Order 1984 (Urdu)

Qanun-e-Shahadat Order, 1984 (Urdu)
Pakistan's Complete Law of Evidence | Translated by Rana Intizar Hussain, Advocate High Court

No case — civil or criminal — can be decided without evidence, and no evidence is admissible unless it satisfies the rules laid down in Pakistan's foundational evidentiary statute. Qanun-e-Shahadat Order, 1984 (Urdu) presents the complete text of this law of evidence in clear Urdu translation, prepared by Rana Intizar Hussain, Advocate High Court, and published by Mansoor Law Book House.

Why This Book is Essential

The Qanun-e-Shahadat Order, 1984 replaced the colonial-era Evidence Act of 1872, revising the law of evidence to bring it into conformity with Islamic principles while retaining much of the original evidentiary framework. It governs the admissibility, relevance, and probative value of evidence in both civil and criminal trials, and applies to proceedings before any Court, court martial, tribunal, or other authority exercising judicial or quasi-judicial powers. Because it touches nearly every contested case in the country, a clear and accurate Urdu edition makes this dense, frequently-cited law genuinely accessible.
