Abstract

    This research article aimed to examine a leading case regarding imprisonment for non-payment of Diyat, Arsh or Daman and its associated issues contested at the Lahore High Court and the Supreme Court of Pakistan respectively in the light of qualitative research methodology. This work highlighted provisions declared by the court ineffective and directions to the government for legislation in this regard. The article also identified issues and challenges liked with the newly formulated Rules. The research at hand, examined whether or not the larger bench of the Supreme Court or the drafters of the Rules addressed the question of interest on the soft loan, which the government undertook the responsibility to be offered to the convicts who are unable to pay due to financial crisis and the same has to be received as arrears of land revenue
