| Sumario: | The role of the judiciary in the Islamisation of Pakistan's legal system has not received much attention by legal scholars. This book aims to fill this gap. Starting in 1947, it examines the way Pakistani judges have dealt with the controversial issue of Islam in the past 50 years. The book's focus on reported case-law offers a new perspective on the Islamisation of Pakistan's legal system in which Islam emerges as more than just a challenge to Western conceptions of human rights. The first part examines the emergence of Islamic arguments in the period up to 1977 when General Zia ul Haq embark. |
