Through a detailed historical and empirical account of
post-independence years, this book offers a new assessment of the
role of the judiciary in Pakistani politics. Instead of seeing the
judiciary as helpless or struggling against an authoritarian state,
it argues that the judiciary has been a crucial link in the
creation of state and political inequality in Pakistan. This rubs
against the central role given to the judiciary in developing
countries to fix the 'corrupt politicians and stubborn
bureaucracies' in the World Bank's 'Good Governance' paradigm and
rule of law initiatives. It also challenges the contemporary legal
and judicial discourse that extols the virtues of Public Interest
Litigation. While the book's core analysis is a critique of the
contemporary liberal legal project, it also adds to the critical
tradition of social theory by linking political economy to a social
theory of law. The theoretical aspect of the study is applicable to
any developing society whose judiciary is going through
foreign-sponsored 'rule of law' judicial reforms.
There is currently no water cooperation between Afghanistan and
Pakistan. Of the nine rivers that flow across the border, none
possess a formal agreement or mechanism to manage shared water
resources. Further, there is very little information available
about the status of environment, hydrology, and water resources
management for these river basins which could be used as a starting
point for dialogues on transboundary water coordination. This State
of the Basins Report co-develops an overview of the three most
important river basins, in collaboration with water professionals
and government agencies in the two countries. It covers water
resources, land resources, ecological health, environment, climate
change, and the social and economic conditions for sustainable
management of these precious resources. It will inform decision
making within the two countries, and begin to establish benefits
that can accrue from more active collaboration on these shared
waters. Key Points It features extensive engagement and
co-development with Afghan and Pakistani professionals It focuses
on portions of the Indus shared by Afghanistan and Pakistan The
first book on the shared waters in the Indus, developed in the
context of regional realities associated with post-August 2021
Taliban takeover. The book is aimed at government decision makers,
private sector investors, universities, donors, intermediary
organizations that work directly with farmers, researchers and
students. It is a reference book for graduate students and
researchers working on these basins, and on transboundary river and
lake basin management in Asia and beyond.

Corporate governance is oriented around the values of fairness,
transparency and accountability. The comprehension and measurement
of these objectives is subject to the social and economic
attributes of the corporate arena. Significant bodies of
intellectual work have approached an assessment of corporate
governance from perspectives such as differences in management
practices, economic advancements, financial management, as well as
regional and country constituents. But little is known about the
Islamic perspective on the conceptualization, structure and
practice of corporate governance. Research in Corporate and
Shari'ah Governance in the Muslim World: Theory and Practice aims
to address a critical disciplinary gap between Islamic theory and
the practice of the corporate sector in the Muslim World. Adopting
a critical approach, the book sheds light on the impact of
corporate governance on the economies of the Muslim world. It
presents an examination of: Corporate governance in Islamic
financial institutions The efficiency of the Islamic Jurisprudence
system The common conceptual grounds of corporate structure in the
Muslim World The composition of business leaders in the Muslim
World Using standard tools of analysis, the book presents a
logically consistent synthesis of key variables with critical
economic reasoning. It extends the conventional scope of corporate
governance to form a basis for common understanding of how it
operates in the Muslim world. The book will prove useful to those
who research, study and practice in this field.

Composted material reduces volume and enriched with plant nutrients
as the decomposition progressed with lowering of C: N ratio.
Decomposition process in poultry litter ceases in 75-90 days, after
that compost stabilizes in its characteristics and becomes usable /
safe for crop production. Composting of poultry litter stocked
under plastic cover or in the pits gives a better quality product
in terms of its nutrient composition and as soil amendment.
Similarly, the composted poultry litter has better fertilizer value
than the un-composted one, as its application will improves the
soil characteristics and crop yields, considerably
Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) is the most important and commonly
associated with tomato crop and is distributed throughout Pakistan.
To combat this problem, tomato lines/varieties screened against the
tomato mosaic virus (ToMV), in relation to epidemiological factors
and different plant extracts (A. indica, A. aspera and W.
somnifera) were evaluated for their efficacy to manage the
disease.The most effective plant extract was A indica at 1%

The dividends are the compensation, strewed earnings or the capital
stock paid out to the shareholders for risk bearing on the
investment. The managers are confronted with the challenge in
earning's management when arriving at the investment and the
dividend decisions. Normally, the investment decision is preferred
to the dividend one. Due to the wobbly corporate governance and the
weak legal system, the growth is not being transformed properly to
the investors. As a result the funds are exploited by the
management for its own ends. It is an effort to put some light on
the dividend paying behavior of the companies in the developing
countries particularly in Pakistan.
