Currently state of Pakistan is facing extreme ideological threats. Sectarian clashes, terrorism and political rift amongst different political parties is giving rise to this threat. Terrorists are group of individuals who consider their self-fabricated ideology more authoritative than the sovereignty and ideology of Pakistan. They want power to implement their ruthless Laws. They are trying to take over the country by killing civilians, policeman, army men through sabotage, subversion and crippling the political and economic standing of the country globally. In response, Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA) in Pakistan are trying to apprehend these terrorists. In doing so use of Digital Evidence (Biometrics) can help and lead to higher success. Currently the existing investigation procedures of the criminals and terrorists are not very effective as on Dec 1, 2013 Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility of killing four policemen on Nov 27, 2013 at Hyderabad. Yet police was unable to prove them guilty. The terrorist’s cases last for many years without final verdict by the judge. This is mostly because of poor investigation and lack of Digital evidence (Biometrics) against the terrorists to prove them guilty in court of Law. This problem exists because of non-availability of digital evidence against terrorists and lack of crime data. This paper aims at bringing up guidelines for use of digital evidence (Biometrics) to counter terrorism in Pakistan. Biometric evidence can help in providing sufficient pieces of evidence. These pieces of Evidence are sufficient to prove suspected individuals guilty in court of Law. Also, to invoke the need to understand and modify the existing judiciary process against terrorists.
