It is normal to have a lot of questions when you need a lawyer. I have answered some of the most common ones I hear from my clients below. I hope these simple answers help you. If your question is not on this list, just give me a call.
Civil law handles disputes between people or businesses, not crimes. It is usually about disagreements over things like money, property, or business contracts.
In my experience, the most common cases are about property disputes and contract disagreements. Many cases also involve recovering money that is owed.
Criminal law is when the State of Pakistan accuses a person of a crime. These cases are very serious because a person's freedom is at stake.
Section 420 of the Pakistan Penal Code, which deals with fraud and cheating, is a bailable offense. This means a person has the right to be released on bail.
Family law deals with personal legal matters related to marriage, divorce, and children. This includes handling cases of divorce or khula, child custody, and guardianship.
Section 17-A of the Family Court Act is about the guardianship of a minor. It gives the Family Court the power to decide on matters related to the custody and welfare of children.
Property law deals with the rights related to land and buildings. It covers issues like who is the legal owner, buying and selling property, and landlord-tenant disputes.
No. In Pakistan, a son cannot legally force his father to give him a share of his self-acquired property while the father is still alive. Inheritance rights only apply after the father's death.
Tax law is a set of rules under which authorities like the FBR collect taxes. It is a complex area of law, and a lawyer can help you with tax disputes or notices.
FBR stands for the Federal Board of Revenue. It is the main government agency in Pakistan that collects federal taxes, including income tax and sales tax.
The main narcotics law in Pakistan is the Control of Narcotic Substances Act (CNSA), 1997. It is a very strict law that deals with crimes related to illegal drugs.
It depends. While bail is very difficult to get in narcotics cases, the law is slightly more lenient for possession of a very small quantity for personal use. A strong legal argument is required.
