Constitutional Law

Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973 is the supreme law of land. It is the driving force in the administration of governmental machinery. Chapter I of the constitution speaks about the fundamental rights of the citizens of Pakistan including Right to Life, Equal protection of law, indiscrimination, Right to Property and Right to Fair Trial, while Article 8 of the same treatise provides that any law, act or custom in derogation to the fundamental rights entrenched in the constitution shall be deemed to be ineffective and of no legal effect.
