Constitutional Lawyer in Karachi
Protection of fundamental rights and challenges to unlawful government action in the High Court of Sindh.
In brief
The Constitution of Pakistan guarantees fundamental rights in Articles 8 to 28, including liberty, dignity, fair trial, property and freedom of trade. When a public authority violates them or exceeds its powers, the High Court can intervene under Article 199.
We advise individuals, businesses and organisations on whether a constitutional remedy is really available, since the courts usually expect any adequate alternative remedy to be used first.
Citizens, companies, employees and associations affected by unlawful action of a public body.
How we can assist
- Fundamental rights petitions
- Challenges to government orders and notifications
- Licensing, regulatory and public-body disputes
- Public interest matters, where appropriate
- Interim relief against government action
When clients come to us
- A government body has cancelled a licence without a hearing
- An authority is threatening demolition or sealing

How the matter moves
We assess maintainability, the alternative remedies available, and the respondent. The petition is filed with supporting documents and any stay application. The High Court issues notices, the respondents file comments, and the case is argued before it is decided.
Papers to keep ready
- The order, notice or action being challenged
- Correspondence with the authority
- Licences, approvals or other rights documents

Questions clients ask
What is a constitutional petition?
It is an application to the High Court under Article 199, asking it to correct unlawful action by a public authority or to enforce fundamental rights.
Can I file against a private company?
Usually these petitions are directed at public bodies or persons performing state functions, though there are limited exceptions.
Can the court stop the action immediately?
Interim relief may be granted if the requirements are met, but it is at the court's discretion.
