Judgment text as reported

YASIR VS State S. 9---Investigation in respect of Scheduled offences---Scope---Investigation of cases pertaining to sexual assault always remains focal point for the reformers of criminal justice system, as investigation of a criminal case is bedrock for carrying out successful prosecution of a criminal case, therefore flawed investigation often results in miscarriage of justice---Police officers are the "gatekeepers" of the criminal justice system and are usually the first to come into contact with crime victims---As such, they exert major influence on both the victim and the case---Under S. 9 of the Anti-Rape (Investigation and Trial) Ordinance, 2020, special procedure for investigation of cases pertaining to sexual assault has been provided to ensure a fair and impartial investigation through competent and senior police officers.
