So as you have mentioned the laws in Pakistan are not completely Islamic and shariah. This still having British law... why would there even be British law if Pakistan was created by Muslims for the reason of Islam.
Eh I've heard a lot about the bars and clubs in Islamabad... murree brewery was created by British and continues to be run by "Muslims" if you can call them that.
Quite simply bcz the entire region of the subcontinent was under British law. That means laws, precedents, studies of laws was entirely British. In this journey of 70 years the once dominant British law has been reduced to a shadow and the once non existent Islamic law is now the basic and core structure of pakistan law. Infact majority of our law system is now derived from Islamic law. As times pass by British law will die its natural death if not kept to a bare minimum for past precedents which are very true for pakistan bcz remember pakistan is the inheritor of Britain and all the precedents and case laws that British delivered during their stay in the subcontinent.
You can't do it on a snap. These things take time as is the phasing out of English. Its a slow process but Urdu is slowly becoming more dominant as a national bridge language over the previous english as well as the office language. The process will take time but it will be done.
As for murree brewery. As I mentioned alcohol is only allowed for non Muslims as we being Muslims respect non Muslims and their religion which is the heart and soul of islam. Minority rights is what differentiates islam from many other religions. Alcohol consumption by a Muslim is illegal and punishable under CRPC drinking which is described as shurb in pakistan penal code under section 6 and is covered by section 6-11 which covers not only drinking but also intoxicants such as drugs.
Do you know that punishment for drinking in hadd ( sec 8) in Pakistan Law is 80 stripes for an adult ( adult definition under section 2a) and the proof under section 9 is confession or witness statement where the witness must be Muslim, adult, and must satisfy the court that he is in accordance with tazkiyat al shahood which is truthful and abstains from major sins.
And sec 11 covers tazir as well and it can also prosecute non Muslims even non Muslim non citizens of pakistan if they drink in public..
That's pretty Islamic.
