A foreigner commits an offence within Pakistan he can

A. Be tried in Pakistan
B. Not be tried in Pakistan
C. Be punished under Pakistan Penal Code and can be tried in Pakistan
D. None of These
Correct Answer: C. Be punished under Pakistan Penal Code and can be tried in Pakistan

According to the principle of territorial jurisdiction, if a foreigner commits an offense within the geographical boundaries of Pakistan, they are subject to Pakistani law. Therefore, such an individual can be punished under Pakistan Penal Code and can be tried in Pakistan. The nationality of the offender does not exempt them from the laws of the land where the crime was committed.

  • Option A, "Be tried in Pakistan," is incomplete because being tried also implies the possibility of punishment if found guilty.
  • Option B, "Not be tried in Pakistan," is incorrect as it contradicts the fundamental principle of territorial jurisdiction in criminal law.
  • Option D, "None of These," is false because option C provides the comprehensive and correct legal position.
