High Court Appeals Lawyer in Karachi
Civil and criminal appeals, revisions and related applications before the High Court of Sindh.
In brief
An appeal is not a retrial. It focuses on what went wrong with the decision below, based on the record and the law. Grounds have to be clear, and strict time limits apply under the Limitation Act 1908 and the relevant statutes.
We read the trial record closely, find the strongest points, file the appeal or revision, and apply to suspend the sentence or stay execution where justified.
Parties who have lost before a trial or appellate court, or a tribunal with an appeal to the High Court.

How the matter moves

Questions clients ask
How long do I have to appeal?
It depends on the type of order and statute. Limits can be short, so obtain the certified copy and take advice immediately.
Can new evidence be brought on appeal?
Only in limited circumstances. Appeals are generally decided on the existing record.
Can execution be stopped during the appeal?
Filing an appeal does not itself stay the order. A separate stay application is usually needed.
