British administration comprised of  Policing, a dual criminal justice system, and punitive military expeditions:

 1.      ‘Sandemanian System’ of Frontier Management:

•          Tribal Service (1871), a quid pro quo

•          Local, tribal, inter-tribal and inter-provincial Jirgas under Sardars and Tumandars (incentives with gold and guns)

2.      Frontier Crimes Regulation (1901)

3.      British Legacy and Post-1947 state of affairs:

–        FCR did not provide the application of Evidence Act and Cr.P.C. Jirgas of four notables had to be constituted by DC from out of the local notables, who would recommend punishment to the DC/DM. The judicial authorities were DM and Commissioner only. Maximum punishment of 14 years could be awarded

–        Ordinance I of 1961 replaced FCR

–        Ordinance II of 1968 replaced Ordinance I of 1961, which was known as JIRGA LAW due to its retention of almost all the provisions of FCR

–        Policing in Balochistan was performed by two agencies, Police (5% area with 45% of populace) and Levies Force (95% area with 55% of populace)

–        The Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan declared Ordinance-II of 1968 as void on 10-04-1993

ABOLISHMENT AND RESTORATION OF LEVIES

–        Conversion from ‘B’ to ‘A’ area started in 2003 and completed on 01.09.2007

–        At that time the whole of Balochistan Province was being controlled by Police

–        Re-conversion of ‘A’ area into ‘B’ area started in July 2009 and completed on 15.05.2010

–         Except Jaffarabad, former ‘B’ area of all 29 districts has been restored w.e.f. 15.05.2010.

–        Due to deteriorating law and order situation in Naseerabad District, firstly 3 more Police Stations were declared as A area and later the entire District was declared so.
