Abstract
The concept of Justice of Peace thrives in the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898 while in Pakistan Sessions Judges and Additional Sessions Judges are serving as Ex-officio Justice of Peace. In Pakistani Court Jurisprudence, the conflict arises whether the powers conferred to Ex-officio Justice of Peace are executive or quasi-judicial. In this way, this paper qualitatively surveys all cases regarding power of Ex-officio Justice to resolve the conflicting, inconsistent and incomprehensive decisions of Pakistani Court; this paper is an endeavor to elucidate the issues regarding the nature of powers and limitations on powers of Ex-officio Justice of Peace.
