Analysis of Terrorism Definition under Section 6 in Anti- Terrorism Act 1997

Abstract

    To curb terrorism the Anti-Terrorism Act was sanctioned on 1997. The Aim of this act was to give a speedy result. There are numbers of ordinary cases within the jurisdiction of ATA. It is disturbing and uncertain why these cases were added in ATA. As a result, the difference arises between ordinary crime and terrorism act has been unclear and blurred. It plays a dual role i.e. constrictive and contextual (Kruglanski & Fishman, 2006). In constrictive role it is helping the interpretation of difficult and ambiguous provisions and the contextual role is helping in the meaning of the text. There are ambiguity presents between superior courts of Pakistan about the terrorism definition and range, which is present in the definition section of this Act (Daraz etl, 2012).
