Because those who work within the criminal justice system are human beings and humans are an imperfect work in progress susceptible to making horrendous decision that may ill affect them as well as society as a whole.

What drawbacks in justice system of Pakistan?

The major problem with the Justice system in Pakistan is that there is little justice. Corruption and bribery exist on such extreme and wide spread levels. If you need something done, it's much easier to pay your way out of it. For example, suppose you get a traffic ticket of some sort. The police will take the offender's driving license, issue a ticket, and instruct the offender to go to xyz location to pay the ticket and get the license back. The problem is that when the offender goes to pay the ticket there would be forms and such an archaic way of handling the small issue that it is just much easier to pay the police money (that he personally keeps) and not get a ticket in the first place. You can subtitute any problem in place of the police example, and this is how much chaos you have to deal with all of the time. Systems are improving, but even still, it will take quite a while for the mentality of bribery and corruption to change. No one takes laws seriously from those laws that do exist. If we go into more important issues such as crime, we'll see exactly what the issue is on a very large scale. Take this issue. When I lived in Pakistan with my inlaws we had a servant who's mother in law came from their village terribly beat up from her husband. We asked her to press charges, but she refused stating that it'd be useless. Her husband will merely pay the judge/officers off and likely charge her for false accusations. So people feel no sense of justice because there is no justice. People don't feel the need to take matters into their own hands in the U.S. simply because our justice system is much more solid. We can't bribe the police and judges so easily. Maybe higher ups do encounter corruption on some level. What government doesn't? However, the common folk feel safe, protected, and as though justice will be served in a fair way, overall. Sure mishaps happen, but overall the system is better in how its carried out consistently. The public's perception of justice is really the key as well which sort of voids incidents of injustice that happen here and there.
