Abstract :

Although the Iranian Constitutional Revolution was a political movement, but different areas affected by this issue were fundamental changes. One of these areas was the criminal justice system. During this period, the justice officially met for the first time and different laws were passed one after another. Among the new rules would be noted the constitution, amendments to the constitution, the law and the administration of justice and law criminal procedure. Despite the adoption of various laws, but the law was never passed on crimes and punishments and issues of the criminal law nature in 1925 until in the year of 1925 the criminal law was adopted in the House. During the 1920 coup, nothing more than the dissolution of justice did not make people happy, that was the inefficiency of justice at the time. During the Pahlavi regime for two reasons, the substantive laws were difficult. One is sensitivity of clergymen and scholars in the adoption of unlawful laws and other is influential and rulers opposition considered the law Influential of their unlimited powers. Hence, the adoption of the Penal Code is of the particular importance.
