Mission and Vision of The Worthy, Prosecutor General Punjab
Mr. Syed Farhad Ali Shah, the Worthy Prosecutor General Punjab has assumed charge of the Punjab Public Prosecution Department on December 10, 2023. From the beginning, he has been an advocate for Fair Prosecution. A fair prosecution is a prerequisite for the growth of a better society. The present legal education system does not offer any real-world experience. As a result, the generation that follows is still unfamiliar with the obligations and responsibilities of courts, prosecution, and police. The three pillars of the criminal justice system are the court, the prosecution and the police. As a nation, we must train the next generations of good judges, prosecutors and police officers. In this context an internship program in these domains must be undertaken. There aren't any internships available in this field right now. The first internship program in Public Prosecution has been launched by the Honorable Prosecutor General. Interns will have numerous opportunities to learn about the duties and responsibilities of the prosecution as well as the nature of public prosecutor’s work through this program. At last, we will have the capacity to educate the prosecutors for the next generation. In this way, a fair prosecution can be accomplished. He believes that young people with the best educational backgrounds and real-world experience can flourish in this legal system, much like oxygen does in a living being.
