The criminal justice system is an integral part of any society, aimed at maintaining law and order, and providing justice to victims and offenders. In Pakistan, like many other countries, the criminal justice system plays a crucial role in regulating and controlling criminal behavior. This research article presents a critical analysis of the sentencing practices within the criminal justice system of Pakistan, examining various aspects including legal provisions, judicial discretion, sentencing disparities, and their implications for the broader criminal justice landscape. By addressing the strengths and weaknesses of the system, this article aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on criminal justice reform in Pakistan.
