The most dangerous sentence a government can utter is not “You are guilty,” but

My article will concentrate on the judicial system, fairness of trial, government and its restrictions, capital punishment, and power misconduct in the light of civic and citizenship in relation to Pakistan's paradigm.

Albert campus(1913-1950) was a French-Algerian writer, journalist and political activist. He argued against capital punishment and state authority to take someone's life. His one of the famous books, “Reflection on the Guillotine” is regarded as an influential writing during the period of French Revolution. The fact that execution is an irreversible act so he believes the state should go through an extensive investigation before putting someone to death, further he challenged the fact that does the government hold' enough authority to put someone on guillotine & what if the accusation was made with lawlessness. Then who shall be accountable? Likewise we can deduce that in Pakistan, primarily in high profile cases it is very likely that the person convicted will be innocent and the tragedy remains. According to journal of law and social studies 39% of the acquittals were later founded completely innocent by the lower courts in Pakistan, moreover 78% of the death sentences handed down by trial courts were regarded as unsafe by the supreme Court of Pakistan (A study of Reprieve US)

Therefore capital punishment is a controversial topic because there is no way back. Albert Campus emphasized on rehabilitation yet he believed the state should take a strict action against the criminals and investigate the case thoroughly. According to Albert the time span of an accused person convicted for a tribal either-way offence or an indictable offence raise major concerns over a fair trial. The accused can meantime manipulate with the weapon of offences and other witnesses which can hinder the fairity of a trial, alternatively immediate justice can lead to misconduct and abuse of power. Campus believe that justice must be balanced by compassion because courts are operated by human beings so the vacuum of mistake is present. In view of this ideology I'd like to quote the Nazm, “Admi Nama” by Nazeer Akbar abadi where he beautifully illustrates the mechanism of evil and good and displays how virtuous & vicious lies within human beings.

دنیا میں پادشہ ہے سو ہے وہ بھی آدمی

اور مفلس و گدا ہے سو ہے وہ بھی آدمی

کل آدمی کا حسن و قبح میں ہے یاں ظہور

شیطاں بھی آدمی ہے جو کرتا ہے مکر و زور

یاں آدمی پہ جان کو وارے ہے آدمی

اور آدمی پہ تیغ کو مارے ہے آدمی

In light to both the views of Albert and Nazeer it is certain that the person accused/guilty and the person labelling someone guilty of an offence are both human beings and naturally humans do take missteps so moderation should be encouraged when dealing with prickly subjects.
