As far as the current scenario is concerned, devolution plan and the subsequent changes in the CrPC have made Civil Judge far more powerful than an ASP. Now, Civil Judge combines the power of Executive Magistrate as well as of the erstwhile "Family Judge" of pre-devolution era. Ask from any judge or a senior lawyer and he will tell you that there is no comparison between the legal powers of a Civil Judge and an ASP, the former can even curb the salary of CCPO (Additional IG).
Now come to the other side of the picture, the facet of perks, privileges and promotions, here ASP out-paces even the Additional Sessions Judge.
If you want legal power and huge salary combined with independence then go to Judiciary otherwise if you want raw power then there is no match of Pakistan Police
