Hello everyone,

My current lawyer is tied up with other commitments and no longer has the capacity to support us.

We are looking to file our corporate tax returns and handle employee taxation. If anyone can recommend a reliable lawyer in Karachi who understands the IT sector, software export licenses, and current tax slabs, please let me know.

From Karachi.

Thanks in advance!

I want to sell some land, but it is in my father's name. He and one of my siblings died a couple of years ago. What should we do? We are in Punjab.

I need legal guidance regarding a family property matter dating back to the 1990s.

My Nana/Nani owned a 400 sq. yard house in Federal B Area, Block 13, Karachi. During their lifetime, the property was effectively divided into two portions:

\* 200 sq. yards remained in use and possession of my Nana and his family. This portion was later sold.
\* The other 200 sq. yards was said to have been gifted to a relative.

As far as we currently understand, the gift was originally verbal, and there is a Gift Deed signed by my Nani, since the property was in her name. However, we are unable to find proper supporting documentation clearly identifying/demarcating the gifted 200-yard portion, such as an approved map or other relevant property records.

There are also questions regarding the sale of the other 200-yard portion, because we are trying to understand how exactly that portion was legally identified and transferred if there was no formal subdivision/map available.

I currently have the original property file and related documents in my possession.

I am specifically looking for a lawyer who can examine the complete chain of this case.

Can anyone inspect the original documents, obtain/check the relevant government records and advise us on whether there is a viable case.

If anyone has personally dealt with a reliable lawyer for old Karachi property disputes, inheritance matters, Hiba/Gift Deeds, title disputes or cancellation/declaration suits, please share their contact details or recommendations.

Thank you.

Hi everyone! I am a final semester LLB student and I am looking for legitimate law-related remote work opportunities that I can do alongside my studies.

I already have relevant skills in legal research, legal writing, drafting and research based work.

I am based in Pakistan so opportunities that are open to international/remote applicants would be especially helpful.

Thanks in advance!

I’m looking for advice from Pakistani lawyers regarding my plot in Bahria Golf City Islamabad, M Block.
I bought the plot through an official Bahria Town Golf City agent a few years ago. At the time, development was ongoing and I was promised possession around June 2025. I paid around PKR 60 lakh out of the total price of approximately PKR 1.47 crore.
However, development in M Block completely stopped. The block is currently just undeveloped/naked land with no construction or infrastructure. I never received possession.
Because there was no progress, I stopped paying the remaining installments. My official Bahria agent also advised me to stop paying because there was no development.
With the ongoing issues surrounding Bahria Town/Malik Riaz, I’m also being told that transfers and sale/purchase of these plots have been stopped for the last few years.
I want the plot, but realistically I don’t know when I’ll ever get possession. I bought it to eventually build my house, and I’m still living on rent.
Is there any legal way to recover the PKR 60 lakh I have already paid, given that possession was promised but never delivered and the block remains completely undeveloped?
Also, does stopping the installments hurt my case, especially since the official agent advised me to stop paying?
Would really appreciate advice from lawyers familiar with Bahria/property disputes.

Context: My friends does animal welfare work out of his pocket, but currently needs assistances from foreign donors. He runs a social media currently and not registered now.

What options does he have to bring some foreign donations. What does law says and what channel he could use for time being until officially registered.

I want to share this and help other especially our elderly parents. PLEASE do not take PIA. I know it’s a direct flight, but it’s like hell. (Just want to clarify he is very healthy and well educated and travelled to navigate, and has travelled through other airlines, but this time he chose PIA because of the news that it was privatized )

My Taya Abbu recently traveled to Canada and he is in his 70s. This was the worst flight he has ever been. Because of the bad treatment from the crew mid way his health deteriorated, nausea, body trembling, high fever and he was shivering, no crew member came to check upon call, barely able to manage his balance while they keep
Lights off, he reached the crew cabin and asked for extra blanket to which the crew member rudely replied that take it from the corner, and my poor Taya Abu (I’m literally in tears while typing this and I don’t wish upon anyone and any parent) who was barely managing his balance was able to take the blanket but when he couldn’t walk more, he fell on the floor and he was lying on the floor with the blanket to take rest and use the washroom, because he was not able to go back to his seat and get back to washroom because of his condition . The crew member did not help at all rather they were very rude and told him in a commanding tone that go back to your seat. my Taya Abu is a researcher educationist a PhD doctor, who has represented Pakistan in different countries who has travelled to many countries and has worked for education through out his life. He is a very decent nice humble and a loving person I’m really hurt and my heart is crying because of what happened to him. I wish I was with him on the flight.
My Taya Abu also told us there was a very old couple behind who were barely able to walk and no crew member helped any of them to go to the restroom. They were barely helping each other trembling while walking towards the washroom. This was the worst experience he has ever had in his life not recommended at all. I hope there is someone from the PIA management who can address these issues

Assalamualaikum.

I need immediate recommendations of some good family lawyers in islamabad/pindi.

I just lost my admission to LUMS SAHSOL Law School because I didn’t meet my A Level condition, and honestly I’m pretty devastated. I still really want to pursue law, so I’m looking at doing a University of London (UoL) LLB through an external programme instead.

Do you think UoL is a good option for someone who wants to build a strong legal career? I already have some relevant experience I’m currently working at a firm in legal marketing and I’m planning to build up internships, research and other legal experience during my degree.

If I do really well in my LLB and then apply for a Master’s/LLM in the UK or US, is it realistic to build a good career in corporate/commercial law?

I’d especially appreciate advice from UoL graduates or lawyers. Can someone genuinely excel from this route, or would losing LUMS put me at a major disadvantage and i should try for it again?

I’m trying to figure out whether this is a setback or if I can still make something really good out of it.

Govt capture my land in 1990 by Land acquicition law 1896 but still development i.e park hospital etc and no reward . What we can do it.

​I have been taking driving lessons at the local traffic police center and today was my 9th day. Throughout the sessions, I noticed the instructor was consistently rude and aggressive toward learners.

​When my turn to drive was skipped, I asked him why. He explained that women were being prioritized because they had jobs to attend to. I completely understood and explicitly told him I had no issue with that at all.

​However, despite my calm response he got hostile and rudely told me that if I had a problem, I could go to the office.

​Seeing his unnecessary attitude, I took out my phone started recording and asked him to repeat what he just said....

​That’s when things escalated, he reached over and snatched my phone right out of my hands. Luckily, I still have the footage of the incident.

​Is recording in this situation considered unacceptable, or was I right to document his aggression?

Looking for a good family lawyer in Islamabad. Also how can one tell if the lawyer youre hiring is actually a good one?

A friend of mine recently received a call from someone claiming to be from Pakistan Post office. He said he had a parcel containing documents from FBR for my friend.

My friend is not an FBR filer and does not have many assets in his name, so he was confused. He asked a few people for advice (none of them are lawyers or tax consultants), and they suggested it could be a scam.

Because of this, he did not receive the parcel and stopped responding to the caller.

Is there any official way to check whether FBR has actually issued a notice against a person's CNIC/name? Can this be checked through the the FBR website?

What would be the safest thing for him to do now? Any advice from someone familiar with FBR procedures would be appreciated.

Long post, but I need people who actually understand the legal side of this in Pakistan, not just opinions.

Some context first: I was already married when I met her. I told her this from day one — I never hid it. She accepted it fully, with open eyes, and her feelings didn't change. This is a second marriage, done with everyone's knowledge on my side and, eventually, with her own repeated consent stated in front of her family.

How we got here:

- Her father found out we were in contact early on and confronted both families. He asked her directly, in front of everyone, if she wanted to marry a man who was already married. She said yes — five times, not once.

- Her maternal uncle got involved, things got hostile, but my family left peacefully rather than escalate.

- I went to her house with a formal rishta, respectfully, with my full family. We were humiliated, and that same day her parents beat her with a wooden rod for refusing to back down.

- She kept getting caught with phones we used to stay in touch, and each time led to worse beatings — at one point she was, in her own words, beaten nearly to death.

- We did our nikkah quietly while she was away for exams, fully consensual, fully Islamic, no coercion on my end at all.

- Her family found out again, beat her again — father, mother, and sister this time — and eventually filed a police case, which turned into a Habeas Corpus hearing.

- At that hearing, she said she wanted to stay with her father. I later found out this was because her family had explicitly threatened to kill me and my entire family if she said anything else. That statement in court was not a free choice.

- After the case, a relative of hers, someone with real influence/connections who has directly threatened to kill me and my family, made a demand: register a 3-marla house property in her name and she'd be allowed to leave, through her, I have voice recording of the call, where she is being told in the back. I've been working on meeting this, in good faith, while trying to figure out the legal side too.

- Her phone has now been confiscated entirely. She's been told if she ever tries to leave with me, she and my whole family will be killed. Her only way of reaching me is a secret email account, and she's using it at real risk to herself.

What I actually need help with:

1. Can a Habeas Corpus statement be legally challenged later if it can be shown it was made under a death threat?

2. What's the real process for getting FIRs registered for repeated physical assault when the victim is still trapped in the house with her abusers?

3. Is the property demand legally extortion, and is there a way to report that without making her situation more dangerous?

4. Are Violence Against Women Centres (VAWC) or District Women Protection Officers actually effective for something like this, or is that mostly on paper?

5. How do people in similar situations get a welfare check done discreetly, without tipping off the family and putting the person at more risk?

She is my wife under Islamic law, by her own repeated choice, and she is currently being held and hurt for it. I'm trying to do this the legal way instead of doing something reckless. Any real experience, lawyer recommendations, or knowledge of how these cases actually play out in Pakistani courts would help a lot.

If I register this complaint over CM Complaint Cell would it help?

I am not scared for myself but for everyone else around me, for me if death is in this way, I am happy to accept it.

Basically i got to to know about a brothel working in a specific area, and i just couldnt help it and reached out, first it was 2k then they were like comissions and all and by the time i realized i already had given 8.5 k to that person in exchange for nothing, i have evidence of payment, and their active phone no., before anyone starts calling me out, ik i was actually the one at fault for being THIS STUPID, but mayn that 8.5 k tho small is really important for me, is there anyone who can help me recover that, we can do a set percentage or smth (ik for lawyers here maybe thats just loose change, but im a hostellite and i just really need that money,)
