How to File a Writ Petition in Courts?

   Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog where I share my insights and tips on various legal topics. Today, I'm going to talk about how to file a writ petition in Pakistan. A writ petition is a legal document that you can file in the High Court or the Supreme Court if your fundamental rights or legal rights are violated by any public authority or a private person. A writ petition can be a powerful tool to seek justice and remedy from the courts. Here are some steps that you need to follow to file a writ petition in Pakistan:


Here is the step-by-step guide:

 

Step 1. Serve a notice:

Before filing your petition in court, you need to serve a notice to the public authority or private person against whom you are filing the petition. This is to give them a chance to respond to your grievance and rectify their mistake. However, in some urgent or exceptional cases, you can skip this step and file your petition directly in court.

 

Step 2.  Draft a petition: 

The first and most important step is to draft a petition that clearly states the facts of your case, the grounds for your claim, the relief that you are seeking, and the legal provisions that support your case. You can use the format given by lawyersclubindia.com as a reference, but make sure to customize it according to your specific situation. You also need to attach all the relevant documents and evidence that support your petition.

 

Step 3. File your petition:

Once your petition is ready, you need to file it at the filing counter/ Registrar of the court where you want to file it. You also need to pay a court fee according to the rules of the court. The court will then assign a date for the hearing of your petition.

 

Step 4. Attend the hearing:

On the date of the hearing, you need to appear before the court and present your case. You can either argue your case yourself or hire a lawyer to represent you. The court will hear both sides and pass an order or direction based on the merits of your case.

 

Step 5. Follow up: 

After getting the order or direction from the court, you need to follow up with the concerned authority or person to ensure that they comply with it. If they fail to do so, you can file a contempt of court petition against them.

Why Death Penalty Is Always Given Before Sunrise And After Fajr In Pakistan?   I am an advocate listed in  Karachi Bar Association, Pakistan.   One day a friend of mine asked me a question to me, why the death sentence execution is always done before sunrise and after fajr prayer in Pakistan? I don’t have the answer to that question, so I decided to search for the right and correct answer to that question. I asked my colleagues and seniors for the answer but no one has an accurate answer. Everybody has his own answer but my eagerness was not contented, so I keep on searching for this answer. I visited many websites for that, and there was a long list of answers to that question. Like..... v When a DOE (date of execution) is handed down it specifies a certain date. A new day begins at 12:00am or midnight. Executions are usually carried out in the first few hours of a new day. It is also a time when the general prison population is settled and sleeping, the staff then can f

    Divorce is the legal termination of a marriage contract between two spouses. In Islam, divorce can take various forms, depending on the circumstances and the parties intentions. In this blog post, we will discuss four main types of divorce in Islam: 1.       Talaq 2.        Khula 3.       Mubarah (Mubaraat) 4.       Faskh.   1.       Talaq Talaq is the most common type of divorce in Islam, where the husband initiates the divorce by pronouncing the word "talaq" (meaning "you are divorced") to his wife. Talaq can be revocable or irrevocable, depending on how many times the husband says it and whether he intends to end the marriage permanently or not. A revocable talaq allows the husband to take back his wife during a waiting period (Iddat) of three menstrual cycles, without a new marriage contract or dowry. An irrevocable talaq occurs when the husband says "talaq" three times in one sitting or when he says it once with a clear intention
