Abstract
Executive Magistracy formed the corner stone of the administrative structure of British colonial era in the Indian sub-continent. The district administration was headed by a civil servant who worked not only as the land revenue official but also as quasi-judicial adjudicator in his capacity of District Magistrate. For over half of a century after the independence of Pakistan, this system was allowed to work and serve the masses. In 2001, the system of executive magistracy was done away with after making amendments to the CrPC 1898. This research paper aims at finding the linkages between law& order and price control and the office of the District Magistrate. It will also investigate the effectiveness of price control mechanism and law & order before and after the demise of the office of DM.
