Abstract

In this article, an attempt has been made to relate complex legal issues of Pakistan with her late Mughal and Colonial legal heritage. By exploring predicament of Islamic/Muhammadan Law through a historical lens, the author argues that any endeavour to revive Islamic law, aligned with the demands of contemporary world, shall fall short if it fails to appreciate the colonial phenomenon that affected its very nature. The study reveals that the British attempt to codify and adjudicate Islamic law along with their introduction of new legislations were meant to gain more and more the control on the subjects of the conqured territory.  Finally, some areas are also identified where further academic as well as judicial deliberations are needed.
