according from below:
1) Almighty Allah

v. Islamic Provisions
vi. Uni-cameral Legislature
vii. President Form of Government
viii. Freedom of Judiciary
ix. Fundamentals Rights
x. Emergency Provisions
xi. Presidential Powers
xii. Restrictions against office of President
xiii. Federalism

15. Draw-backs of 1962 Constitution
 Constitution was given by one Man.
 Absence of Check and balance.
 Indirect Election.
 Lack of Provincial Autonomy
 Negation of Islamic Ideology.
 Presidential Dictatorship
 Policy of suppression of fundamental rights.

relished real democratic postulates rather it provided
pathway (umbrella) for perpetuation of military rule
and it worked. Even though It didn’t succeeded to win
hearts of myriad of people thus t’is constitution failed.
