Islamabad: The government of Pakistan has decided to put forward Fair Trial Act 2012 in National Assembly tomorrow. The act would enable law enforcement agencies to use electronic information as evidence against any criminal.
According to sources, the act would enable law enforcement agencies to use telephonic conversations and data gathered through email as evidences against the criminals.
The security agencies would require a warrant from session judge to record the telephonic conversations of any suspicious person. The warrant would be valid for six months but the authorities could extend the warrant after approval from the court.
Responding to the new law, the law minister, Farooq H Naek, said that the law would help to culminate the cases of missing persons.
He further said that the law would help courts and law enforcement agencies to punish the elements destabilizing the country.
It is to be mentioned here that sources said that the step has been taken by the government authorities after having immense pressure from law enforcement agencies, courts and civil society.
