The challenging nature of Arabic script recognition has attracted the attention of researchers from both industry and academic circles but these efforts have not achieved good results until now. Segmentation of Urdu script when written in Nasta'liq writing style is very difficult task due to the complexity of writing style as compare to Naskh writing style. Good segmentation is one of reasons for high accuracy. Character segmentation has been a critical phase of the OCR process.
