Administrative System
![Page 11: Presentation on FATA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/555e5d91d8b42a8e4c8b566c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

The administration is run through PA, APAs,
Tehsildars, Khassadars, security forces
(Levies or Scouts) and Maliks.
The tribal administration and system of
justice is based on the concept of territorial,
tribal (collective) and protective
responsibility.
![Page 13: Presentation on FATA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/555e5d91d8b42a8e4c8b566c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Adjudication is through the Jirga system,
which is something the tribesmen
comprehend and accept.
The substantive law is the Pakistan Panel
Code, 1860, whereas, the Frontiers
Crimes Regulation, 1901 is the
procedural law.
![Page 14: Presentation on FATA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/555e5d91d8b42a8e4c8b566c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Administration takes cognizance of only
those offenses, which are committed in
protected areas
Does not generally interfere in the offenses
occurring between the tribes in the tribal
territory of which no cognizance is taken
The Maliks used to work as medium
between the administration and “Qaum”.

Land revenue administration in some parts of
the Agency is carried on exactly on the same
lines as in the settled districts of Pakistan.
The political agent plays a supervisory role for
development projects and chairs an agency
development sub-committee, comprising
various government officials, to recommend
proposals and approve development projects.
![Page 20: Presentation on FATA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/555e5d91d8b42a8e4c8b566c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

disputes over boundaries or the use of natural
resources, for regulating the trade in natural

• The Frontier Crimes Regulations 1901, popularly known as FCR is one of the major components of the administrative system of justice in Tribal Areas.
• It is the supreme law in FATA and other civil and criminal laws are not extended. It serves all purposes both of procedural as well as substantive law.
Legal and Judicial System
![Page 22: Presentation on FATA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/555e5d91d8b42a8e4c8b566c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• No right of appeal to the High Court or
Supreme Court exist. Until 1997, the
Commissioner acted as a revisional court
but in 1997 it was amended and turned into
appellate forum and the powers of revision
of the Commissioner’s verdict were given to
the tribunal consisting of secretaries of
Home and Law Department.
![Page 23: Presentation on FATA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/555e5d91d8b42a8e4c8b566c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• The FCR is a subject of frequent criticism as
being a draconian law which is oppressive
and subject to misuse. It is one of the most
highly controversial parts of the tribal
system of administration.
• Section 40, Collective Responsibility Clause
![Page 24: Presentation on FATA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/555e5d91d8b42a8e4c8b566c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
It is basically a procedural law and not a
substantive law, nor can it be considered
comprehensive in its coverage of all the
parameters of the modern laws.
![Page 25: Presentation on FATA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/555e5d91d8b42a8e4c8b566c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The FCR is a direct contravention of the
Constitution of Pakistan, 1973, as well as
the Juvenile Justice System Ordinance
(JJSO), 2000, the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights (UDHR), 1948, the Covenant
on Civil and Political Rights, 1966, and the
Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC),
1989.

No right of engaging a counsel or defending
one’s rights has been given
