Tasadduq Hussain is found to have committed negligence or has 
misconducted himself, he will be proceeded against departmentally and 
the matter will be taken to the logical conclusion. It was emphasized by 
the Court to the IG Police that investigation of a crime is a specialized 
subject in which the investigation officers are required to be fully 
trained and equipped, and in this regard the Police Training Centre

imparting 
professional training to the investigation officers. A handbook of the 
crime investigation, based upon previous experiences, illustrations, 
practical applications and case-law developed by the superior Courts of

investigation kits and preparing a computerized data of the crime. 
Such handbook of investigation should be immediately prepared but 
not later than 6 months from today, and it should be made available to 
each of the investigation officers, who are responsible for investigating 
the crime. The handbook on investigation shall be updated every year 
and new experiences shall be added along with latest case-law given by 
the superior Courts. New investigation tools shall be added in every

in particular, and he shall also ensure that proper law and order 
situation prevails in Islamabad Capital Territory, and the life and 
properties of the people are safeguarded and protected, and the 
criminals are taken to task in accordance with law. No amount of 
negligence in this regard should be tolerated and if any body in police 
department is found neglecting his duties, he should immediately be 
dealt with and if found guilty, appropriate penalty be imposed upon 
him. If any police official is found indulging in criminal activities, the 
criminal case shall also be registered against him, besides, taking 
departmental action against such police official.
