Abstract
One of the most heinous offences if acid spraying on the persons. It may be committed for different motives. This action has been criminalized by the bill regarding acid sprayibg of 1961. With regard to abrogation of the mentioned law, some believe that Islamic Punishment Law abrogated the legal bill of acid spraying, but some believe that this law is still enforceable because it is a special legislation. The offence of acid spraying may have different punishments like Qisas (blood vengeance), Dia (blood money), Tazir (discretionary punishment awarded by judge) and punishment for corruption on earth, but according to Islamic Punishment Law ratified in 2013, it can not be put under the title of insolence or banditry. For attempt of this offence the legal bill of acid spraying should be considered. Along with criminalization of this action, some preventive measures and arrangements like enacting and social prevention must be implemented which according to the published statistics our country seems to have an undesirable condition in this regard.
