dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the role of Punjab Criminal Prosecution Service (PCPS), which deals with criminal cases in the court on behalf of the state, on the provision of justice in the Punjab province. The study explores the efficacy of Punjab Criminal Prosecution Act, 2006 through document analysis and interviews of 25 individuals representing all relevant stakeholders in PCPS namely judges, prosecutors, investigation officers, private lawyers and accused persons. The study finds that the structure of PCPS is much better as compared to former system of Attorney General that deals both criminals as well as civil matters in the courts on the behalf of state. After the establishment of PCPS, the power structure is divided between the police and the prosecutors to resolve the criminal cases. But despite better service the process of PCPS is not without demerits. This system is not entirely independent. It is evident in some cases that there is political interference and undue pressure which hinders provision of justice. The study strongly recommends transfer of power to prosecutors of the Punjab as per PCPS Act, 2006 for better delivery of justice in the provinceen_US
